Quaere project creator Anders Norås characterizes his domain-specific language for language-integrated querying in Java as:

An internal domain specific language that adds a querying syntax reminiscent of SQL to Java applications. The language is modeled with basis in Microsoft’s Language Integrated Query (LINQ) project, which adds similar capabilities to a range of Microsoft .NET languages. The Quaere project allows users to use an internal DSL to filter, enumerate and create projections over a number of collections and other queryable resources using a common, expressive syntax.

Following its initial release at the JavaZone conference in early September, the project recently moved to Codehaus, with a new subversion repository containing the latest updates to the code:

Lots of stuff have been fixed or added to the codebase after I announced the project at JavaZone. Because of this, I have now removed the snapshot that was available here. I encourage those of you who are interested in using Quaere to download the latest version from the Codehaus Subversion repository.

What do you think of Quaere's aim to bring language-integrated querying to Java?
