The Plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing software projects. Based on the Plexus container, the applications can utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components that can easily be assembled and reused. While Plexus is similar to other inversion-of-control (IoC) or dependency injection frameworks such as the Spring Framework, it is a full-fledged container that supports many more features such as: Component lifecycles Component instantiation strategies Nested containers Component configuration Auto-wiring Component dependencies, and Various dependency injection techniques including constructor injection, setter injection, and private field injection.
