JetS3t - Development Home

Welcome to the development home of the JetS3t suite. This site is intended for Java developers and other people actively involved in the JetS3t project who use the mailing lists, discussion forums, bug/issue tracking and CVS codebase repository features of this site.

The latest version is 0.6.1.

This project's main public web site is hosted in S3 itself: JetS3t Home This is where general users of the JetS3t library and applications will find detailed documentation such as application manuals, and programmer guides. The public web site also provides access to an online version of the Cockpit application, and links to JetS3t Downloads where the public release archives are made available.

What is JetS3t?

JetS3t is a free, open-source Java toolkit and application suite for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The toolkit provides Java programmers with a powerful yet simple API for interacting with S3 and managing data stored there, while the applications allow anyone to easily manage and interact with their S3 accounts.

Project Goals

JetS3t was started as a hobbyist project to simply backup files to S3 but with feedback, support and sponsorship from our users it has since grown into a very powerful suite including an underlying toolkit API and some widely-used applications built on top of this toolkit.

The JetS3t suite will continue to evolve as new feature are added to Amazon's S3 and as we receive your feedback, so get involved and help us improve the suite to better meet your needs.

Why is this toolkit called JetS3t?

JetS3t, pronounced "jet-set", stands for the Java S3 toolkit, with some extra letters added to make it into a word connoting high-flying, free-wheeling luxury. Come and join the jet-set, you won't regret it.
