EasyBeans is an open-source Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) container hosted by the OW2 consortium. The License used by EasyBeans is the LGPL.
EasyBeans main goal is to ease the development of Enterprise Java Beans. It uses some new architecture design like the bytecode injection (with ASM ObjectWeb tool), IoC, POJO and can be embedded in OSGi bundles or other frameworks (Spring, Eclipse plugins, etc.).
It aims to provide an EJB3 container as specified in the Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) in its fifth version. It means that Session beans (Stateless or Stateful), Message Driven Beans (MDB) are available on EasyBeans.
The new persistence layer used by EJB 3.0 is now called Java Persistence API (or JPA). It replaces the CMP (Container Managed Persistence) model used by EJB 2.x. The default persistence provider used in EasyBeans is Hibernate Entity Manager or Apache OpenJPA but other JPA providers have been tested like for example Oracle TopLink Essentials.

ClassMock is a framework that helps the creation of unit tests for components that use reflection or annotations. In this kind of classes, the behavior is dependent of the class structure. This way, each test case usually works with a different class created specifically for the test. With ClassMock is possible to define and generate classes in runtime, allowing a better test readability and logic sharing between tests.
The Pager Tag Library is the easy and flexible way to implement paging of large data sets in JavaServer Pages (JSP). It can emulate all currently known paging styles with minimal effort. It also includes re-usable index styles that emulate the search result navigators of popular web sites such as GoogleSM, AltaVista® and Yahoo!. The Pager Tag Library does most of the work for you by dynamically organizing your data set into pages and generating a browsable index with virtually any look desired.
For those of you who've got into it you'll know that test driven development is great. It gives you the confidence to change code safe in the knowledge that if something breaks you'll know about it. Except for those bits you don't know how to test. Until now XML has been one of them. Oh sure you can use "<stuff></stuff>".equals("<stuff></stuff>"); but is that really gonna work when some joker decides to output a <stuff/>? -- damned right it's not ;-)
a6fw is a Java framework for the rapid development of a rich GUI web client and/or rich GUI windows client, OLTP type applications using Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and declarative principles. It consists of modular pluggable application layers (UI, n

When the only thing you've got is a XML Hammer, every solution looks like XML.
The XML Hammer application is a free and open-source tool that simplifies elementary XML actions like checking for well-formedness, validation, transformation and xpath searches using any JAXP implementation.
After all these years of XML, it is still relatively difficult to simply validate or transform XML files. You are currently either forced to use extensive, sometimes expensive, and most often difficult to use tools with a lot of extra functionality unnecessary for these simple tasks and very often not flexible enough to provide what you want, or you will have to be almost a programmer and create your own application or script to handle these elementary XML related tasks.
The XML Hammer tool addresses these issues by providing a free and open-source tool that has a (relatively) simple to use user-interface however still allowing the flexibility for the user to specify anything that he/she would have been able to specify when writing a script for this same task him/herself.
The functionality of the XML Hammer tool is based on the capabilities provided by the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) and supports the JAXP API as fully as possible. To achieve this, the functionality has been divided into five specific project types:
Acceleo is the most powerful code generator tool of its generation. It has been designed to improve software development productivity. Acceleo brings to everyone the MDA approach applied to development industrialization
The ActiveBPEL™ engine is a robust runtime environment that is capable of executing process definitions created for the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standard.
Today’s leading web applications are increasingly built on Web 2.0 principles: rich user interface, lightweight integration of multiple data sources, rapid evolution of applications, and user control over both content and context. Web 2.0 promises to expand the functionality of core business applications, knit together multiple services, and deliver a feature-rich user interface to enhance the customer experience and employee productivity.
This project contains custom Hibernate and JRuby extensions to let Hibernate work directly with org.jruby.RubyObject objects. That means that the Hibernate session accepts and returns plain old Ruby objects (no intermediary Java domain classes are needed). Another goal is to provide a Rubyish interface to the Hibernate configuration and functionality.
The idea to start this project comes from Ola Bini's blog http://ola-bini.blogspot.com/2007/04/activehibernate-any-takers.html. For more details please see http://rubymatic.blogspot.com.
The Advicio Service Workbench assembles second-generation IT service catalogues, creating a basis for distributed development of component-based service architectures. The tool’s deliverables are detailed IT service specifications in Advicio’s Service Specification and Configuration Language (SSCL). As well as delivering added value to clients – who benefit from clear-cut definitions of the content and scope of services – the specifications are also valuable for service providers to document workflows or in contract agreements with outsourcing partners.
E-travel is comprehensive framework for delivering personalized travel services using agent infrastructure based on our works in agent-related fields: Multimodal Communication Between Users and Software Agents and Modelling User on the Basis of Interactions with a WWW Based System. The system utilizes many existing up-to-day technologies related to the term of Semantic Web: JADE agent platform together with Jena semantic framework for processing ontology demarcated data. For easy and type safe access to ontology Jastor (Java beans generator from Web Ontologies (OWL)) has been used. Raccoon server provides a way to transform ontological data into browser-readable forms.
Our solution addresses set of the following problems:
* Connecting synchronous HTTP protocol with asynchronous nature of software agents.
* Web browser and mobile interface providing natural access to the multi-agent system.
* Separation of data and view thanks to: Model-View-Controller architecture, ontologies and Raccoon server for transforming data into view.
* Content personalization basen on user modelling, including: stereotyping, user profile learning and exploitation.
Business processes optimization with service-enabled applications is on the CIO's high priority agenda (according to a recent study of Gartner's Executive Program - EXP). At the same time a German study for SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) has confirmed this business need especially for Germany's distinct high share of SMEs.
AgilPro is a process integration framework based on a service oriented architecture (SOA). AgilPro integrates existing ERP (enterprise resource planning), material management and proprietary data processing systems using service adapters. Particularly SMEs are known to use isolated solutions which prevent integrated process flow. AgilPro Integration Framework will help to close this gap.
AgilPro integrates BPEL compliant process engines for process execution (e.g. JBoss jBPM).
The agimatec tools contain some utilities to enable generation of files, source code etc. from sql files and annotated java classes.

Dopus is a Docbook publishing framework. It was designed with portability and extensibility in mind. Dopus can run on any Windows or Unix platform that supports Java.
Dopus was developed during a project for T-Systems Germany. T-Systems generously agreed to open source the newly developed parts of Dopus (Ant script and Docbook customization layer) for which we are very gratefull.
We have agreed to host Dopus here on our website as a free product we want to give back to the Docbook community. The Dopus framework is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The various parts of the Dopus framework are distributed under their respective (free) licenses.
Dopus is still pretty young but is already used in various projects.

Akka is the platform for the next generation event-driven, scalable and fault-tolerant architectures on the JVM
We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
Akka is here to change that.
Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provides a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.
For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash" / "Embrace failure" model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heals, systems that never stop.
Actors also provides the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
Akka is Open Source and available under the Apache 2 License.
Java provides a neat way to carry out long lasting jobs without have to worry about threads and hanging the application. It's called SwingWorker. It's not the latest thing on Earth (released with Java 1.6) and you may have already read about it. What I never came across was a practical example of the swing worker.
XPath Explorer (XPE) is a GUI application that lets you interactively experiment with XPath. Basically, you type in a URL (to an XML or HTML document) and an XPath expression, and it displays the elements or attributes from that document which match that
What is Asynchronous IO for Java?
Asynchronous IO for JavaTM (AIO4J) is a package that provides the capability to perform input and output (IO) on sockets and files asynchronously -- that is, where the Java application can request the operation but can continue doing useful work while the underlying system performs the operation. The application is informed of the operation's completion later.
Normally smartphone events are tightly coupled to your phone device itself. When your cell phone is ringing, your phone speaker plays a ringtone. When you get a new text message, your phone displays it on its screen. Wouldn't it be thrilling to make thoses phone events visible somewhere else, on your wearable, in your living room, on your robot, in your office or where ever you want it to occur? Or would you like to use your smartphone sensors, like the accelerometer, light sensor, compass or your touchscreen to control other devices? 'android meets arduino' is a toolkit, basically consisting of an Android application and an Arduino library which will help you to interface with your phone in a new dimension. You can build your own interfaces almost without any programming experience.
This is a collection of answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Java Generics, a new language feature added to the Java programming language in version 5.0 of the Java Standard Edition (J2SE 5.0).
The Animal Sniffer Plugin is used to build signatures of APIs and to check your classes against previously generated signatures. This plugin is called animal sniffer because the principal signatures that are used are those of the Java Runtime, and since Sun traditionally names the different versions of its Java Runtimes after different animals, the plugin that detects what Java Runtime your code requires was called "Animal Sniffer".
Annogen is a framework which helps you work with JSR175 Annotations. In a nutshell, Annogen generates a proxy layer in front of your Annotations. This lets you:
