Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

The mission of KivaKit is to provide a new vision for the development of Java
software that takes code reuse to a new level.

KivaKit is more than an application framework. It's a new way to think about Java coding.

KivaKit uses several key patterns to make coding easier, more consistent and more modular:

• Consistent object composition and behavior
• Components that are easy to build, discover and use
• Components that unify major JDK functionality

The resources below will help you to get started.
