Open Source Java Build Tools

Capacitor is an open source native runtime for building Web Native apps. Create cross-platform iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Capacitor’s native plugin APIs make it extremely easy to access and invoke common device functionality across multiple platforms. Build web-based applications that run equally well across iOS, Android, and as Progressive Web Apps. Access the full Native SDKs on each platform, and easily deploy to the App Stores (and the web). Add custom native functionality with a simple Plugin API, or use existing Cordova plugins with our compatibility layer. Capture images, save photos, and configure hardware parameters like saturation and color balance. Save and read documents, assets, and other content your users need to access via native file systems. Gather critical information about a user’s device location, such as latitude and longitude.

Boot is a Clojure build framework and ad-hoc Clojure script evaluator. Boot provides a runtime environment that includes all of the tools needed to build Clojure projects from scripts written in Clojure that run in the context of the project. Build processes for applications always end up being complex things. A simple web application, for instance, may require many integrations–asset pipelines, deployment to different environments, the compilation of multiple artifacts with different compilers, packaging, etc. The more complex the build process becomes, the more flexible the build tool needs to be. Static build specifications become less and less useful as the project moves toward completion. Being Lispers we know what to do: Lambda is the ultimate declarative. Instead of building the project based on a global configuration map, boot provides a runtime environment in which a build script written in Clojure can be evaluated. It is this script.
