nuts stands for Network Updatable Things Services tool. It is a simple tool for managing remote components, installing these components to the current machine and executing such components on need. Each managed package is also called a nuts which is a Network Updatable Thing Service . Nuts components are stored into repositories. A repository may be local for storing local Nuts or remote for accessing remote components (good examples are remote maven repositories). It may also be a proxy repository so that remote components are fetched and cached locally to save network resources. One manages a set of repositories called a workspace. Managed nuts (components) have descriptors that depicts dependencies between them. This dependency is seamlessly handled by nuts (tool) to resolve and download on-need dependencies over the wire.
nuts is a swiss army knife tool as it acts like (and supports) maven build tool to have an abstract
view of the the components dependency and like npm, pip or zypper/apt-get package manager tools
to install and uninstall components allowing multiple versions of the very same package to be installed.
- deploy,undeploy : handle components (package installers) on the local repositories
- install,uninstall : install/uninstall a package (using its fetched/deployed installer)
- fetch,push : download, upload to remote repositories
- find : searches for existing/installable components

- TODO
* Add maven-github repository type support (web API)
- Added lucene indexing facility (thanks to the excellent work of nasreddine bac ali)
- Removed dependencies to common,strings, io and utils (utility classes).
- Removed dependencies to asm (bytecode manipulation).
- From Now on only gson and jansi are retained.
- Layout changes
* from now on configuration will be version specific. some migration should be done to import previous configs
* system (global) repo is no more created under the workspace. Only a link to is is registered in nuts-workspace.json
* added MacOs Layout. Help is needed for testing this !
- Better support for JDK 8+ (New IO,Predicates, Streams, ...)
- Added Comprehensive implementation of Iterator (Stream Like) to better handle result iteration while search is in progress
- Speed improvements
- Added JUnit test battery
- Added support to JSON,PROPS and PLAIN result, implemented in version and info. Should continue implementing in other commands.
- Removed --license, --update, --install, ... options, replaced by workspace "internal" commands new concept.
- Workspaces handle several type of executables that will be resolved in that order : "internal command","aliases : aka workspace command aliases", "components",
"path/unmanaged components" and system/native commands.
- Several Fixes
* Fixed Problem with Layout
* Fixed Problem coloring (fprint embedded library)
* All System properties now start with "nuts."
* System properties starting with "nuts.export." are exported to children processes
* Added watch dog agains infinite child process creation
1- (WINDOWS) First support to Windows platform
* Support for Console coloring on windows
* Storing to AppData\\Local and AppData\\Roaming folders
* ndi is not yet supported!
2- (LINUX,UNIX) ndi no more stores to ~/bin but instead it updates .bashrc to point to current workspace
added a confirmation question.
3- API Change
* Moved getStoreRoot from NutsWorkspace to NutsWorkspaceConfigManager
* Added StoreType : CACHE,LIB
* Introduced NutsDeploymentBuilder,NutsIoManager,NutsParseManager,NutsFormatManager,DescriptorFormat
* Introduced NutsSessionTerminal,NutsSystemTerminal
* Added description, alternative (to support multi architecture nuts) descriptor properties
* Removed descriptor/id 'ext' and 'file' parameters. 'packaging' should be more than enough
* Removed Maps from config. Replaced by plain arrays
* Removed workspace.cwd
* Removed Temp File/Folder support
4- Added Archetype "standalone" to help bundling and application with all its dependencies
5- Several fixes
* Fixed Log configuration, introduced --log-inherited to enable inherited log-handlers
* Fixed support for install/uninstall hooks
* Fixed Repository Layout where ref repo folder is created twice
* Fixed Multiple pom download issue
* Fixed Gson parsing issue
* Fixed autocomplete support
* Fixed bad json format recovery
6- nsh
* introduced pwd,set unset,alias,unalias,autocomplete commands
* fixed support to autocomplete
7- TODO
* Code Comments
* Help files
1- Global refactoring
* Introduced NutsCommandExecBuilder, NutsDependencyBuilder, NutsDeploymentBuilder,
NutsIdBuilder, NutsClassLoaderBuilder
2- Extracted nsh commands as regular nuts package (nadmin, nfind)
