This library provides an Ant task and a Maven plugin to create Debian packages from Java builds in a truly cross
platform manner. Build your Debian packages on any platform that has Java support. Windows, Linux, OS X - it doesn't
require additional native tools installed.
Drift can be used to serialize and deserialze objects in a cross
language manner. It will generate code based on a grammar and provide
hooks for data migrations across different grammar versions.
In many ways very similar to Thrift (original code base) and
protobuffers. It's focus is serialization and data migration rather
than RPC and service implementation though.
