Development of Singularity has Ceased

Singularity has been a labor of love for us for the past couple of years, but recently we've learned that the thing Singularity was evolving to become has already been achieved successfully by at least two other projects, "Cajo" and Sun's "Jini". As a result, there's no compelling reason for us to continue development of Singularity. We have marked it as inactive and soon it will be an "orphaned" project with no admins.... read more

Singularity System 2004.06.16-beta Released

The Singularity Framework is a Java library that allows you to build service-oriented code that communicates using messages instead of method calls. The framework is written entirely in Java to maximize portability and security.

There is no limit to what you can do with Singularity as your base platform. Documentation is available online for this powerful and extensible programming system, and seasoned Java engineers will find that it uses strong datatypes and reflection to achieve wonderful results. Singularity allows any program developed with it to become "pluggable", meaning that parts can be swapped out at runtime. "Method calls" in the form of messages can be sent either to local code or code mounted on remote machines running Singularity.... read more
