#37coins Boilerplate

This project got renamed from RestNucleus Boilerplate to 37coins-boilerplate. All imports are still the old.

Introduction:

RestNucleus Boilerplate is a Java stack of frameworks to easily create RESTful services on almost any datastore. Like Dropwizard it is

a little bit of opinionated glue code which bangs together a set of libraries which have historically not sucked.

The stack is different to Dropwizard, as it is composed of:

• JSR 311, an API for RESTful Web Services, implemented by Jersey, an framework for Java.
• JDO 3.0, implemented by Datanucleus, a flexibile API and datastore.

I found myself using these always same libraries to create RESTful services for different kind of project and pratforms. I have assembled this stack of libraries into a stub to be easily extended, tested locally and deployed to Tomcat, AWS Beanstalk, and GAE. Maybe someone might prefer this pure-java aproach to the many opinionated frameworks out there.
