One of the biggest promises of Business Process Management was that the business people can model and execute their business processes without involvement from IT folks. This promise was kept in a simple workflow sceanarios by utilizing limited number of 'built-in' activity types of BPMS packages but once you face little more complex business process sceanarios providing transactional integration with existing software and complex interactions with human beings, this limited expression power make it hard to drag and drop process modeling, and finally it brings a huge help from software vendors or system integrators and write a lot of code that is making processes utterly inflexible downstream. That means, concurrent BPMS is extremely lack in something like 'Technical Abstraction' and 'Expression Extensibility'.
Project Open ESB implements an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) runtime using Java Business Integration as the foundation. This allows easy integration of web services to create loosely coupled enterprise class composite applications.
The intention for this project is a very simple API to call different kinds of services (provider/technology). Crispy's aims is to provide a single point of entry for remote invocation for a wide number of transports: eg. RMI, EJB, JAX-RPC or XML-RPC. It works by using properties to configure a service manager, which is then used to invoke the remote API. Crispy is a simple Java codebase with an API that sits between your client code and the services your code must access. It provides a layer of abstraction to decouple client code from access to a service, as well as its location and underlying implementation. The special on this idea is, that these calls are simple Java object calls (remote or local calls are transparent).
CSSToXSLFO is a utility which can convert an XML document, together with a CSS2 style sheet, into an XSL-FO document, which can then be converted into PDF, PostScript, etc. with an XSL-FO-processor. It has special support for the XHTML vocabulary, because that is the most obvious language it would be used for. The tool has a number of page-related extensions. It also comes with an API in the form of an XML filter.

EuroMath2 WYSIWYG XML Editor Platform serves as a platform for editors editing various XML files. It is able to contain and manage editors with WYSIWYG capability. By default it contains:
* a basic XSL-FO editor, capable of editing XML documents transformable to XSL-FO,
* a read-only support for SVG and MathML,
* a (very incomplete) XHTML support (implemented using a stylesheet capable of transforming XHTML into the XSL-FO)
One night five developers, all of whom wore very thick glasses and had recently been hired by Elephants, Inc., the world’s largest purveyor of elephants and elephant supplies, were familiarizing themselves with the company’s order processing system wh
MindRaider is easy-to-use system for organizing of your resources - local files, analytical documents, images, thoughts, friends, tasks, web links, etc. MindRaider enables you to annotate these resources with metadata describing how they are related. Also
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
JaxMe 2 is an open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding. A Java/XML binding compiler takes as input a schema description (in most cases an XML schema but it may be a DTD, a RelaxNG schema, a Java class inspected via reflec
