-The AWS Blu Age libraries are a set of jar files stored in a `shared/` subfolder added to the standard tomcat classpath, so as to make them available to all modernized Java programs. Their goal is to provide features that are neither natively nor easily available in the Java programming environment, but typical of legacy development environments. Those features are exposed in a way that is as familiar as possible to Java developers (getters/setters, class-based, fluent APIs). An important example is the **Data Simplifier** library, which provides legacy memory layout and manipulation constructs (encountered in COBOL, PL1 or RPG languages) to Java programs. Those jars are a core dependency of the modernized Java code generated from legacy programs. For more information about the Data Simplifier, see [What are data simplifiers in AWS Blu Age](./ba-shared-data.html).
