PicoContainer is a lightweight and highly embeddable container for components that honour Dependency Injection. Despite it being very compact in size (the core is ~100K and it has no mandatory dependencies outside the JDK), PicoContainer supports different dependency injection types (both CDI ... [More] and SDI) and offers totally customisable lifecycles. PicoContainer has originally been implemented in Java but is also available for other platforms and languages. [Less]

NanoContainer is a container for components honouring dependency injection. NanoContainer builds on top of PicoContainer the support for several scripting meta-languages (XML, Groovy, Bsh, Jython and Rhyno), AOP, Web frameworks (Struts and WebWork), Persistence (Hibernate) SOAP, JMX, and much more.
