In Java, all the classes are loaded using several ClassLoader.In this article, we’ll develop a loader for our modules and watch [...]

This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series Develop a modular applicationNow that we saw in details the characteristics of the modules, we’ll see how to implement a module. We need a simple container for our module to load it after with a loader from the modular application. In this post, we’ll only [...]

This entry is part 2 of 4 in the series Develop a modular applicationAfter explaining what’s a modular application, I’ll now explain with more details the concept of modules. We said that a module add features to the application. But before writing any code, we’ve to define exactly what are the modules, what they can [...]

This entry is part 1 of 4 in the series Develop a modular applicationThis is the first post of four posts about modular applications. I’ll try to explain all the things we must think of when we develop a modular application. I’m developing a generic core for modular applications, JTheque. So what I’m saying in [...]
