Java in the box: implementing the BoxScript component language

BoxScript is a Java-based language that supports the componentoriented programming paradigm. BoxScript introduces a composition strategy and type structure to support two main properties of component-oriented programming, compositionality and flexibility. This paper briefly introduces the fundamental concepts of BoxScript and then describes how BoxScript components (i.e., boxes) are realized as clusters of interrelated Java interfaces, classes, and packages.
