The Jeuron Application Platform is a lightweight framework to assemble software components intended to support multiple project and deployment scenarios while also providing an environment for testing and debugging. The platform is comprised of a set of packages which provide transport, messaging, configuration, and execution services designed to create a configurable, scalable, and distributed application environment. The low resource model permits the platform to be instantiated during each build cycle and to be deployed at all levels of the application hierarchy such as application servers, web servers, and mobile or wired workstations.
