What is Codehaus Cargo?

Cargo is a thin wrapper that allows you to manipulate various type of application containers (J2EE, Java EE, Jakarta EE and others) in a standard way.

Cargo provides the following APIs and tools:

These tools and APIs can be used in a standalone fashion or via various IDEs.
