fast-serialization

• 100% JDK Serialization compatible drop-in replacement (Ok, might be 99% ..).
• OffHeap Maps, Persistent OffHeap maps
• FSTStructs is very similar to IBM's packed objects. Difference is: You can run it with Oracle JDK today.

</dependency>

Older version (slightly faster, different package name, 1.6 compatible ..)

    <version>1.63</version>
</dependency>

###how to build

• master contains dev branch/trunk.
• 1.x contains old version (still maintained)
• The maven build should work out of the box and reproduces the artifact hosted on maven.org
• To use the gradle build, you need to configure the proxy server in settings.properties (or just set empty if you do not sit behind a proxy).

Note that instrumentation done for fst-structs works only if debug info is turned on during compile. Reason is that generating methods at runtime with javassist fails (probably a javassist bug ..). This does not affect the serialization implementation.

JDK 1.6 Build 1.x build since v1.62 are still jdk 6 compatible
