Free, easy to setup wikis, blogs, forums and many other web applications that you can run locally or in the cloud. BitNami makes deploying server software a simple and enjoyable process.

Maven is - at its heart - a plugin execution framework; all work is done by plugins. Looking for a specific goal to execute? This page lists the core plugins and others

If you've ever tried to deliver a Java application as a single Java Archive file (JAR file), you've most likely encountered the need to expand supporting JAR files before you build the final archive. As well as being a development nuisance, this can put you in violation of license agreements. In this article, Simon Tuffs introduces you to One-JAR, a tool that uses a custom classloader to dynamically load classes from JAR files inside an executable JAR file.

ProtoJ is a pure java build, installation and deployment library that hands control over to you. There's no third-party ProtoJ application directory to maintain, no environment variables to set up and absolutely no other required software. Simply add the ProtoJ library to your project and get ready to experience the joy of a friction-free development cycle. So why not give ProtoJ a try right now, it really is as easy as 1-2-3: 1. Download the ProtoJ executable jar file. 2. Create a new "basic" project by executing java -jar protoj-exe-jdk5-1.9.2.jar -sample basic. 3. Try a few commands from the basic/bin directory: ./basic.sh compile archive hello-basic. When you're feeling more adventurous take a look at the jboss demonstration that demonstrates how ProtoJ can be used to build, store persistent configurations and launch a jboss project with considerable ease. You may be amazed at how easy this is to accomplish: not because ProtoJ is rocket science, but because it is based on java rather than xml. Features to Enhance Any Project ProtoJ abandons build scripts. It's "unique selling point" is that all use-cases are accessible in-code through the api, with just one call to Java in just one starter script! If you ever wished you could get rid of your build scripts then look no further: ProtoJ is targeted at you!!! ProtoJ is part of your project. You don't have to hide away use-cases related to the build inside some xml file, to be handled by some other tool merely at the start of your project life-cycle. Compilation and jar creation for example belong to your project just as much as your core business use-cases and are accessible at build-time through to run-time. ProtoJ plays nicely with maven. ProtoJ uses a traditional lib directory and support for filling it up from a maven repository is provided right out of the box. And going in the other direction, you can easily deploy your project artifacts to a maven repository so that they can be shared with other ivy or maven projects. Or indeed with other ProtoJ projects! ProtoJ plays nicely with aspectj. Aspectj compiler support can be enabled with just a single method call, as can support for load-time-weaving. Then just drop your .aj files alongside your .java files and they will be picked up by the ajc compiler without any additional aspectj installation. ProtoJ is available on all major platforms. Each release of ProtoJ is subjected to rigorous testing on Linux (Ubuntu), Unix (Mac OS X) and Windows (XP) and also on Java 5 and Java 6. If you work with any other platform then you can easily check for compatibility by following the instructions in the BuildingFromSource page.

Impala allows you to divide a large Spring-based application into a hierarchy of modules. These modules can be dynamically added, updated or removed. Because Impala-based applications are genuinely modular, they are much easier to maintain than vanilla Spring applications. Impala radically boosts productivity of Spring application development. This is enabled by the dynamic module loading capability, the seamless integration with Eclipse, and the efficient mechanisms for running Spring integration tests, both individually and within suites. When writing applications you only rarely need to restart your JVM, allowing your application changes to be reflected almost instantly. No long restart waits required! Impala also features a build system, based on ANT, and dependency management capabilities, which you can optionally use. For up to date news on development of Impala, see the project blog. Impala is developed under the Apache Licence, Version 2.

Scannotation is a Java library that creates an annotation database from a set of .class files. This database is really just a set of maps that index what annotations are used and what classes are using them. Why do you need this? What if you are an annotation framework like an EJB 3.0 container and you want to automatically scan your classpath for EJB annotations so that you know what to deploy? Scannotation gives you apis that allow you to find archives in your classpath or WAR (web application) that you want to scan, then automatically scans them without loading each and every class within those archives There are really 3 main classes to Scannotation: ClasspathUrlFinder, WarUrlFinder, and AnnotationDB. The first step in scanning for annotations is declaring what archives or what parts of your classpath you want to scan in. ClasspathUrlFinder has various ways to automatically find the URLs that make up your classpath. WarUrlFinder is similar but provides ways to get things from your WAR lib directory. Once you find the URLs that make up your classpath, you feed them to AnnotationDB to scan and index. Its best to read the javadocs

The Fat Jar Eclipse Plug-In is a Deployment-Tool which deploys an Eclipse java-project into one executable jar.It adds the Entry "Build Fat-JAR" to the Export-Wizard.In addition to the eclipse standard jar-exporter referenced classes and jars are included to the "Fat-Jar", so the resulting jar contains all needed classes and can be executed directly with "java -jar", no classpath has to be set, no additional jars have to be deployed.

Jawr is a tunable packaging solution for Javascript and CSS which allows for rapid development of resources in separate module files. Developers can work with a large set of split javascript files in development mode, then Jawr bundles all together into one or several files in a configurable way. By using a tag library, Jawr allows you to use the same, unchanged pages for development and production. Jawr also minifies and compresses the files, resulting in reduced page load times.

If web architectures, performance, or scalability are topics you would like to keep on top of (who doesn't!), then chances are, you've heard of Nginx ("engine x"). Originally developed by Igor Sysoev for rambler.ru (second largest Russian web-site), it is

Deployer is an Eclipse plug-in to deploy files in remote servers, using SSH. It uses SFtp protocol to transfer the files. Support for other protocols is a planned feature. It's written in Java and released under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Deployer was originaly coded to aviod the manual upload of jar files to my server every time I made a modification. It adds a Preferences page to the resources to set the deployment information (server, remote path, user and password), and a submenu with a Deploy action.
