<h2>Overview</h2>

Boost is a collection of low-level Java interfaces and

classes that provide enhanced implementations of the most common

<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html">java.lang.Object</a>

methods, e.g toString(), equals() and hashCode().

Especially useful for application classes that are data structural in nature.

Using au.net.netstorm.boost.primordial.Primordial as

your base class, saves you having to provide custom implementations of those

well-known Object methods, over and over again. Primordial works by using

Boost was created by Greg Davis of

<a href="http://leapstream.com.au">LeapStream</a> /

<a href="http://netstorm.net.au">NetStorm</a>, based on his experience over

several commercial Agile projects. Boost is also a test-case for

development</a> strongly influenced by the

<a href="http://extremeprogramming.org">eXtreme Programming (XP)

methodology</a>, but with some additional or in some cases more extreme
