Aranea is an Open-Source Java MVC Web Framework that provides a common Object-Oriented approach to building the web applications, reusing GUI logic and extending the framework. It comes with out-of-the-box support for nested flows and database-backed query browsing. Additionally it serves as an integration platform, allowing free intermingling of arbitrary frameworks, components and applications.
Apart from the very basic "add days" features, most business have to deal with Holidays and what to do when a calculated day falls on a holiday. This library does not attempt to create or guess the holidays, we all know that some bank holidays can be decided at a moment's notice in some markets. All financial institutions or big business will have their own official list of 'holidays' anyway.
Furthermore, "weekends" also need to be handled and some market have a different week to the conventional Monday -> Friday, our library provides you with full flexibility to design a Working Week.
As such a Non-working Day can be a holiday or a 'weekend'.
Apache Camel is a powerful rule based routing and mediation engine which provides a POJO based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an extremely powerful fluent API (or declarative Java Domain Specific Language) to configure routing and mediation rules. The Domain Specific Language means that Apache Camel can support type-safe smart completion of routing rules in your IDE using regular Java code without huge amounts of XML configuration files; though Xml Configuration inside Spring is also supported.
Apache MyFaces Orchestra aims to provide a simple way to combine a web-framework with a persistence layer. Typically, an Apache MyFaces Orchestra stack might combine JavaServer Faces, Spring and a JPA implementation like Toplink, Hibernate, etc.
The underlying idea is to provide long persistence sessions to the web-developer - this is done by associating these sessions with a conversational context.
The conversational context is opened when the bean configured for this context is first loaded. It can be manually closed by the programmer, plus a time-out can be configured as a global parameter.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
The Beryl XML GUI library was written to ease the development of graphical user interfaces using Swing on Java. It lets you store user interfaces as XML markup. This will help you avoid unnecessary clutter in your source - Swing code mixed with application logic can become a troublesome and hard to read mess as the application size increases. The library comes with a visual component builder, which makes development a breeze. The most important features are:
Tagonist is a laughably simple java web application framework.
Overview
Tagonist is an ultra-lightweight MVC webapp framework, similar in principle to Struts, WebWork, or Maverick. Like its cousins, Tagonist offers:
* Clean separation of code and content - no need for scriptlets
* Form processing by conveniently populating beans from the HTTP request attributes
However, unlike its cousins, Tagonist:
* Is trivial to learn and use. One look at the examples and you will understand how to write your webapp immediately. There are just two custom tags.
* Is trivial to configure. There no servlets to configure and no XML to muck with. Just drop the tagonist.jar in your WEB-INF/lib and start using the two tagonist custom tags in your JSPs.
* Integrates seamlessly into any JSP-based portal or even other webapp frameworks. Your JSP includes tagonist actions, not the other way around.
* Encourages development of fine-grained actions which can be composed arbitrarily on a page. You don't need to have one action class per screen.
* Allows many HTML developers to work on a project without fighting over checkouts for some sort of XML sitemap configuration file.
* Is composed of 8 java classes and less than 500 lines of code (including whitespace). Anyone can see how it works.
* An ant task called the "propertizer" that automatically generates getter and setter methods when you annotate fields with @Property
DynamicDOM is an extension of the W3C DOM (Document Object Model) that adds dynamism to XML. For example, it allows you to define rules so that when you change, say, the TotalIncome node, the IncomeTax node updates automatically.
Just as C++ adds code to the C struct to create a class, DynamicDOM adds intelligence, in the form of rules and code, to the DOM to expand its capabilities beyond parsing XML documents to processing and enforcing business rules. Your XML document, then, becomes dynamic in the sense that it contains rules and code in addition to data, and updates itself automatically based predefined rules.
AllSeeingI (ASI) is the codename for a computer vision and visualisation framework. It is a visual programming environment for rapid development and easy reusablitity.
It is a cross plattform c++ open source project.
The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for XML and non-XML Processing.
Smooks
Smooks is a Java framework for managing and performing Fragment Based XML Processing (Transformation/Analysis).
Smooks can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to XSLT for XML Transformation.
Smooks gives you more control when performing XML Transformations and Analysis by giving you the freedom to use the tools and programming languages most appropriate to the type of transformation in question (or your skillset).
* Mix and Match different tools and languages in the process of transforming a single message/document e.g. it may be easier to transform one part of the document using pure Java and another part using XSLT.
* Simplify your XSLT and StringTemplate Templates by combining the power of the Smooks Javabean and Templating Cartiridges.
* Analyse/Read your XML and non-XML data into named Javabeans using the Smooks Javabean Cartiridge.

The Synapse project is a robust, lightweight implementation of a highly scalable and distributed service mediation framework based on Web services and XML specifications.
GridGain is a computational grid framework. Its goal is to improve general performance of processing intensive applications by splitting and parallelizing the workload. In many cases GridGain is used to achieve better overall throughput, better scalability or availability of services.
Following picture illustrates the basic idea behind processing grids:
Project OpenJFX is a project of the OpenJFX community for sharing early versions of the JavaFX Script language and for collaborating on its development. In the future, the JavaFX Script code will be open sourced. The governance, licensing, and community models will be worked out as the project evolves.
Jm-Etude is a jMusic wrapper for the processing environment. It provides a high level API to communicate with jMusic therefore it makes it more easy to programm music composition with processing. jMusic itself is a solid framework for computer-assisted composition in Java, it is also used for generative music, instrument building, interactive performance and music analysis. If you are interested to find out more about jMusic, visit the project homepage
Jasypt 1.3 will be released mid-May 2007, featuring changes in the provider API which will allow the use of non-default JCE providers like Bouncy Castle. With this, any PBE or digest algorithm you can get from any JCE provider will be available for you to use with Jasypt. Stay tuned for the new release at the jasypt-announce mailing list.
In this article, after a quick introduction to Wicket, you will learn to obtain and set up the requisite software for Wicket-based web development. Then you will learn to develop interactive web pages using Wicket. Along the way, you will be introduced to some key Wicket concepts.
