rkt-launcher

To launch rkt in a type-safe way using Java (a.k.a rkt Java API).

rkt is designed to be used as a command line executable without having a daemon. To understand the design philosophy, you are encouraged to read this document.

rkt-launcher starts with a core lib that can be used to fork rkt process in a type-safe way; then it provides a service exposing RESTful APIs through which the user can interact with rkt remotely; and last but not least, a client is shipped to ease the process talking to the service.

This project is in beta stage. Most of the features have been implemented and can be used for production. Backward compatibility will be ensured on a best efforts basis.
