	``Jiazzi: New-Age Components for Old-Fashioned Java''

 

			       Abstract


Jiazzi extends Java with explicit programming-language support for
configurable program components. Jiazzi components import and export
classes, where a component's import signature specifies only the shape
of each imported class, not the source that provides the class.  A
specific source for an import is selected later, when the component is
linked with others to form an application. This delayed binding of
classes (not merely class instances) enables new forms of reuse and
extensibility for Java-based programs.
