Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate a new object of a particular class. Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance(); however, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when the class contains constructors that require arguments, that have side effects, and/or that throw exceptions. As a result, it is common to see restrictions in libraries stating that classes must require a default constructor. Objenesis aims to overcome these restrictions by bypassing the constructor on object instantiation. Needing to instantiate an object without calling the constructor is a fairly specialized task, however there are certain cases when this is useful: * Serialization, Remoting and Persistence - Objects need to be instantiated and restored to a specific state, without invoking code. * Proxies, AOP Libraries and Mock Objects - Classes can be sub-classed without needing to worry about the super() constructor. * Container Frameworks - Objects can be dynamically instantiated in non-standard ways.
OCaml is a high-level, strongly-typed, functional and object-oriented programming language from the ML family of languages. This package comprises two batch compilers (a fast bytecode compiler and an optimizing native-code compiler), an interactive toplevel system, parsing tools (Lex,Yacc,Camlp4), a replay debugger, a documentation generator, and a comprehensive library.
CamlIDL is a stub code generator and COM binding for Objective Caml. CamlIDL comprises two parts: * A stub code generator that generates the C stub code required for the Caml/C interface, based on an MIDL specification. (MIDL stands for Microsoft's Interface Description Language; it looks like C header files with some extra annotations, plus a notion of object interfaces that look like C++ classes without inheritance.) * A (currently small) library of functions and tools to import COM components in Caml applications, and export Caml code as COM components.
The ocaml-camomile-data package contains data files for developing applications that use ocaml-camomile.
Objective CAML package manager and build helper.
Ocaml-gettext provides support for internationalization of Ocaml programs. Constraints : * provides a pure Ocaml implementation, * the API should be as close as possible to GNU gettext, * provides a way to automatically extract translatable strings from Ocaml source code.
