Tentackle — Project Site

This is the Maven-generated project site for Tentackle: API documentation (Javadoc), cross-referenced sources (JXR), plugin documentation and project reports for every module of the reactor.

Looking for the user documentation — quickstart, concepts, guides and the architecture deep-dives? That lives at tentackle.org.

What is Tentackle?

Tentackle is a comprehensive Java application framework for building modular, enterprise-grade multi-tier applications with a single, location-transparent programming model — from a JDBC/SQL database up to a JavaFX desktop client — with full JPMS support. It is distributed under the LGPL 2.1 by Krake Softwaretechnik.
