The Fractal reference Java implementation comes with a component factory that suffers a complex architecture and a lack of documentation. FFF is a software development project aiming at providing a simpler (yet complete and extensible) component factory for Fractal. FFF provides extensions for ProActive/GCM.
Dowload the lastest framework and add it to your classpath.
FFF can be installed on UNIX systems, using the java4unix installer. The installation procedure assumes that curl and bash are installed on your system, which is highly probable.
Run the followning command at your shell prompt to install. Don't be afraid, this simply downloads the program files
into $HOME/.fff or, if you are root, in /usr/local/fff.
curl -s http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Luc.Hogie/java4unix/j4uni | sh -s fff
