The plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing software projects. based on the plexus container, the applications can utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components that can easily be assembled and reused.

while plexus is similar to other inversion-of-control (ioc) or dependency injection frameworks such as the spring framework, it is a full-fledged container that supports many more features such as:

* component lifecycles
* component instantiation strategies
* nested containers
* component configuration
* auto-wiring
* component dependencies, and
* various dependency injection techniques including constructor injection,
setter injection, and private field injection.
