basis is the core java utility library for projects at AddThis, both internal and open source.

basis uses Apache Maven which it is beyond the scope to detail. The super simple quick start is:

mvn test

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.addthis</groupId>
  <artifactId>basis</artifactId>
  <version>latest-and-greatest</version>
</dependency>

You can either install locally, or releases will eventually make their way to maven central.

It's x.y.z where:

• x: something major happened
• y: next release
• z: bug fix only

basis is released under the Apache License Version 2.0. See Apache or the LICENSE for details.
