A JAR ("Java archive") file is a package file format typically used to aggregate many Java class files and associated metadata and resources (text, images, etc.) into one file for distribution. [4] JAR files are archive files that include a Java-specific manifest file. They are built on the ZIP format and typically have a .jar file extension. [5]
Modules are a new way of grouping code. Contrary to Jar files, modules explicitly declare which modules they depend on, and what packages they export. [12] Explicit dependency declarations improve the integrity of the code, by making it easier to reason about large applications and the dependencies between software components.
Initially, IBM used JAD to help sell and implement a software program they sold, called COPICS. It was widely adapted to many uses (system requirements, grain elevator design, problem-solving, etc.). Tony Crawford later developed JAD-Plan and then JAR (joint application requirements).
An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer, also referred to as computer architecture.A realization of an ISA is called an implementation.An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1]In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.
A software repository, or repo for short, is a storage location for software packages.Often a table of contents is also stored, along with metadata. A software repository is typically managed by source or version control, or repository managers.
Producing or improving automation in software production is usually a goal of the release engineer. Gathering, tracking, and supplying all the tools that are required to develop and build a particular piece of software may be a release engineering task, in order to reliably reproduce or maintain software years after its initial release to ...
The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.While building the computer Z1 in 1936, Konrad Zuse described in two patent applications for his future projects that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data, i.e., the stored-program concept.
