salesforce - Can one implement Apex libraries or modules to import in force.com projects? -
one can develop projects using force.com. however, possible develop apex code libraries , import them in project, bit dependencies in maven , java? if yes, how should 1 proceed? exploring framework. thanks.
apex doesn't have concept of java-like packages & dependencies. of custom classes sit in 1 big namespace leads long class names. more info might want check out disadvantages of force.com platform
having said can make that's called "package" in documentation. think plugin force.com solution whole. create package contains code libraries it's more common build ones come own objects, visualforce pages, reports etc. see on http://appexchange.com/ such packages... terrible analogy i'd compare them war files, not jars.
package can managed (meaning party developed controls it, can't see source code can use methods exposed global
keyword example). unmanaged packages exist - you're free modify them see fit, delete things don't need. chatter unfollow rules example of unmanaged package. 1 (let's install browse code before diving deep installation) http://code.google.com/p/apex-lang/
to make stuff more complicated can make private packages ;) deploy different salesforce orgs without publishing on appexchange.
if seems chunky , you're after dependency control, deploying of project whole etc - perhaps should read "changesets" or "force.com migration toolkit" (which should easy use if know ant).
at least hope gave several new keywords google ;) might want ask same or more detailed question on salesforce.stackexchange.com - there several pretty hardcore integrators , app developers there might provide better answers.
