A comprehensive, community-maintained collection of design pattern implementations in Java, offering well-documented, educational examples to help developers understand and apply common architectural solutions. All designs should be as simple as possible. You should start with KISS, YAGNI, and Do The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work principles. Complexity and patterns should only be introduced when they are needed for practical extensibility. The design patterns are now available as an e-book. Design patterns can speed up the development process by providing tested, proven development paradigms.

Features
