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.
10gen is a new platform-as-a-service technology designed to help developers quickly and easily build dynamic, scalable, mission critical web sites and applications.
The 10gen software stack is analogous to Google App Engine in that it provides a new stack of tools (database, grid management, application server) that are purpose-built to run in a cloud environment.
UltraESB is the first [and still the only] Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to utilize Zero-copy proxying with Memory Mapped files and Java Non-Blocking IO for extreme performance!
This is an early implementation of JSR 303 (Bean Validation), a specification of the Java API for JavaBean validation in Java EE and Java SE.
The technical objective is to provide a class level constraint declaration and validation facility for the Java application developer, as well as a constraint metadata repository and query API.
This implementation is based on the validation framework of agimatec GmbH, that is in production for more than a year and offers additional features, like XML-based extensible metadata, code generation (JSON for AJAX applications), JSR303 annotation support.

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 ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) executes business processes written following the WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described by your process definition. It supports both long and short living process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of your application.
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.
Click Framework is modern JEE web application framework, providing a natural rich client style programming model. Click is designed to be very easy to learn and use, with developers getting up and running within a day.
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) has attracted a lot of attention lately as a way to make it easier for developers to add AJAX Web 2.0 features to their applications. Like other approaches, the designers of GWT have tried to insulate developers from having to deal with the underlying JavaScript, which implements these features. GWT achieves this goal of simplifying the creation of advanced client-side JavaScript widgets by generating them from Java code.
Exadel Flamingo provides a set of commands that help a developer to generate initial code. To bootstrap a project, a developer answers a few questions in a wizard. Based on these questions, a standard project is generated. Flamingo is based on Maven, therefore the new application is generated according to Maven conventions, making it easy for people familiar with Maven to navigate through the project.
The generated code provides all the necessary plumbing and connectivity from Flex or JavaFX to Seam or Spring. A developer only needs to focus on business functionality; Flamingo takes care of the rest. All communications between the user interface and Seam or Spring components are taken care of by Exadel Flamingo.
Exadel Flamingo also provides a set of Flex components that make it extremely convenient to support specific features of Seam on the client side.
[fleXive] is a JavaEE 5 open source (LGPL 2.1 or higher) framework for the development of complex and evolving (web-)applications. It speeds up development by easing many tedious and repetitive programming tasks and helping to keep your application(s) flexible during the development-cycle and in production.
Based on the latest industry-standards like EJB 3, JSF, etc. [fleXive] should be your choice for building up your own new application.
The Frameworx Project has been formed to help create an industry commons of open source service-oriented infrastructure for ISVs and other producers of enterprise-class applications. We play an active role in creating components and frameworks that are made available through leading community development projects, and provide value-added services and solutions around them.
jabsorb is a simple and lightweight Ajax/Web 2.0 framework that allows you to call methods in a Java web application from JavaScript code running in a web browser as if they were local objects residing directly in the browser.
jabsorb handles all the details of marshalling and unmarshalling objects back and forth between the client and server so that you can focus on writing your application features.
jabsorb makes use of the JSON-RPC protocol for it's transport mechanism. JSON-RPC is a standard protocol and jabsorb can interoperate with other standard JSON-RPC clients and servers that may be written in other languages.
Starting with jabsorb 1.2, additional ORB functionality has been added, and it extends the basic JSON-RPC protocol to allow for passing data structures that contain Circular References.
Gracelets is a view/controller technology layered on top of Facelets/JSF. It complements the Facelets templating technology by allowing Groovy scripts to replace or be used in connection with normal Facelets source files and views.
The name came from combining the Gr in Groovy and replacing the F in Facelets with Gr, Groovy Facelets, or Gracelets (yeah, a no-brainer).
One of the inspirations behind Gracelets was the desire to use Groovy scripts, which have many practical applications for many java developers these days, and yet have all the power of Facelets and JSF behind the groovy script. Another inspiration was to at least have the option to develop quick solutions in a single file. Of course the Model-View-Controller concept is marvillous and it is important to keep things seperate, which can also be easily done with Gracelets. But sometimes it is nice not to be forced to do so just to prototype or develop some quick solution that one wants or needs, and Gracelets gives you that option. In other words, Gracelets works fine as simply a view technology in the MVC flow, but also allows you to do more in a single script if you so desire.
The main goal of Gracelets is to complement Facelets and provide more options, flexibility and efficiency to Facelets and JSF users and component developers. Since you can still use normal Facelet XHTML views and everything else you already have invested in JSF/Facelets, you are not forced to use Gracelets even though it is installed/configured. Thus you can choose exactly where you want to use Groovy Facelets/Gracelets in your application. Even inside Gracelet scripts, you can still access the full component/tag set already available in JSF/Facelets. Some of the possible practical uses of Gracelets could be (but is not limited to) the following:
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:
