"The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities."

E. W. Dijkstra, 18 June 1975

Bach is a tool that orchestrates JDK tools for building modular Java projects.

If you are eager to try out Bach and already set JDK 25 or higher up, these simple steps work most of the time:

mkdir example && cd example
jshell
/open https://install.bach.run
java @bach jar --version
java @bach jcmd -l
java @bach https://src.bach.run/Hi.java Lo

For detailed installation instructions please see the installing document.
