Welcome

Click Framework is a modern JEE web application framework, providing a natural rich client style programming model. Click is designed to be very easy to learn and use, with developers getting up and running within a day.

Highlights

The design philosophy behind Click is best summarized in the Swedish word lagom which translates to not too little or too much, but optimal.

If you want to dive straight into some code examples see Introduction.
