Starting a new OS project: Podam (POJO Data Mocker)

If you, like me, are a TDD addict and you start your APIs by writing unit tests, you have probably found yourself in a situation where you needed a POJO to be filled with data but your application would not blow up if this data didn't make sense from a business perspective, probably because the service using the POJO is a mock anyway!

I have always felt the lack of tooling around  functionalities to provide clients with junk-filled POJOs and therefore I decided to write such a tool and to name it PODAM (POjo DAta Mocker). This tool will be written entirely in Java and will be open sourced under the MIT license. The project will be initially hosted on my server and it will be made available for contribution by using Git and Nexus (probably Jenkins for CI).

If you feel you would like to participate get in touch!

Happy Technology!
