Currently it is possible to develop a fragment by providing its HTML, CSS and JavaScript in 3 independent files. It is possible to develop fragments this way either through UI or by importing the files. It is also possible to deploy the fragments in a bundle, making them available in the whole system (and allowing redeploys to make changes, since deployed fragments are not copied to the database). This is all great, although it limits the fragments to be useful just as a template, not allowing the development of more dynamic fragments.

The purpose of this Story is to provide developers with a way to develop fragments programmatically, using Java or any templating framework of their choice. This type of fragments will also have access to an execution context, allowing them to react to it to display specific content (or not) within them.
