-# MODELED-Java
+# MODELED :: Java
+
+> Bringing **M**odel-driven **O**bject-oriented `#coding`
+with **D**eclarative, **E**vent-based, **L**ightweight,
+& **E**xtensible **D**esign to [Java](https://oracle.com/java) —&
+to Java interop in [Python](https://python.org)
+via [Jep](https://github.com/ninia/jep)
+
+### For Java it provides:
+
+* a complement to [Lombok](https://projectlombok.org) — though
+  based on generated code instead of AST manipulation — fueling
+  properties with `Optional`, `Stream` /
+  [StreamEx](https://github.com/amaembo/streamex), `Future`,
+  & event-based access
+* a foundation for connecting Java classes more intuitively
+  with data model languages, with data storage, serialization,
+  & with user interface technologies, etc.
+
+### For Python, things are yet TODO
+
+## Setup // how-to add it to your project
+
+### Java :: Gradle
+
+* https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies.html
+
+**Groovy** DSL —`build.gradle`
+
+```groovy
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor group: 'me.modeled', name: 'modeled-java', version: '0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'
+    implementation group: 'me.modeled', name: 'modeled-java', version: '0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'
+}
+```
+
+**Kotlin** DSL —`build.gradle.kts`
+
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor(group = "me.modeled", name = "modeled-java", version = "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
+    implementation(group = "me.modeled", name = "modeled-java", version = "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
+}
+```
+
+* **OR** through `gradle/libs.versions.toml`—
+  https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/version_catalogs.html
+
+```toml
+[versions]
+modeled-java = '0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'
+
+[libraries]
+modeled-java = { group = 'me.modeled', name = 'modeled-java', version.ref = 'modeled-java' }
+```
+
+**Groovy** DSL —`build.gradle`
+
+```groovy
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor libs.modeled.java
+    implementation libs.modeled.java
+}
+```
+
+**Kotlin** DSL —`build.gradle.kts`
+
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor(libs.modeled.java)
+    implementation(libs.modeled.java)
+}
+```
+
+### Java :: Maven —`pom.xml`
+
+* https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>me.modeled</groupId>
+    <artifactId>modeled-java</artifactId>
+    <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## `#coding` // how-to use it in your project
+
+### Java :: `@Modeled` classes, `@Modeled.Property` fields
+
+For every `@Modeled` class,
+a `sealed` & `_Model`-suffixed interface is generated,
+which defines a whole variety of `default` access methods — getters,
+setters, checkers, & requirers; mappers, streamers, listeners, etc. — for
+every `@Modeled.Property` defined within the `@Modeled` class:
+
+```java
+import me.modeled.Modeled;
+```
