jQAssistant is a tool supporting the process of developing complex Java applications. It can be plugged into the Maven build process to break the build on detection of constraint violations and generate reports about user defined concepts and metrics.

Here are some examples to illustrate the possibilities:

• define technical layers (e.g. presentation, business logic, persistence) and/or business components (e.g. shopping cart, user management) and validate dependencies between them
• enforce naming conventions, e.g. EJBs, JPA entities, test classes, package names etc.
• separate APIs and implementation classes (e.g. a component must only have dependencies to API classes of other components)
• detect common problems, e.g cyclic package dependencies

Note: The first milestone (1.0.0-M1) has been released to Maven Central Repository. A stable release will be available shortly after the official release of Neo4j 2.0.
