3. Using Bocca : A Project Manager for SIDL or CCA

While the CCA specification allows you to create components ``by hand'', it is much quicker to use an application generator that provides templated code for components and a build system. Naturally Bocca cannot create your implementation for you, but all of the glue code for multi-language interoperability and component interfaces in a CCA application is created and maintained with a few commands. The advantage of this approach is that a lot of build and component defaults have been chosen for you. The downside is that, while some customization is possible, the project directory and file structures are largely predetermined.
