A simple example about how to use low latency concurrent programming to develop a minimalistic stock exchange example in Java.

I started this project after (re)studying Brian Goetz book on Concurrency in Java. (http://www.amazon.com/Java-Concurrency-Practice-Brian-Goetz/dp/0321349601)

• Learn about concurrency and performance issues in Java
• Develop an example on github in complete TDD with 100% test coverage
• Experimenting with different techniques on a solid problem (e.g. Disruptor and Jetty Continuations)
• Wrote a blog about it
• Discuss different implementations with other people interested

For the moment all I have are several performance tests. In the future there will be also a rest api working on http.

Assuming you have JAVA_HOME configured and pointing to a JDK 7 and Maven properly installed, you should only have to launch the tests:

mvn clean test
