JavaFBP is a Java implementation of the concepts described
in the book “Flow-Based Programming”. It allows a
developer to specify an application as a network of “black-
box” components, which are implemented as long-running
Java threads, connected by bounded buffer connections,
over which data objects travel (“information packets”). The
network is also specified as a Java program, which maps a
visual connection diagram. The black box processes can be
reconnected as desired to form different applications without
having to be changed internally.
