Open Source General Purpose Libraries in Java
| The JADE library provides \"Context Programming\" which allows:
- Objects to be allocated on the \"stack\" to avoid garbage collection and provide faster execution speed (PoolContext). - Automatic concurrency in low level method to take advantage of multi-processors (or hyper-threading) in a transparent manner (ConcurrentContext).
- Thread-based inheritable local/global settings (LocalContext).
This library also provides
- Struct/Union classes for interoperability with C/C++.
- A math package with the first (and unique) generic Matrix class to solve linear systems of any kind.
- Physical quantities for which the dimension checking is done in the form of class-type checking (e.g. the division of a length by a duration returns a velocity instance).
- Real-time XML parser with no dynamic object creation (the world fastest by a factor 2-3x) And much, much more... |

| he goal of this project is to provide functionality roughly analogous to the portions of the C++ STL library that are not already provided by java. The primary functionality to be provided is:
* a set of functors and predicates that may be applied both the the generic collections and to other areas of the standard java library.
* basic utility algorithms for use with java collections such as those found in STL
* implementations of standard java classes that are intended to be user-derivable that apply the algorithms and functors for general benefit (for example, implementations of standard swing models that take advantage of predicates and functors)
We will not necessarily reproduce STL in all of its details: where Java and C++ provide different interpretations of standard design patterns, we will stay true to standard Java practices in order to be as comfortable for Java programmers to adopt as is practical. We will also not necessarily be limited by the scope or approach of STL |

| Java applications are typically deployed in multiple environments and platforms, each requiring some unique configuration. JFig gives developers a simple yet powerful tool to manage their applications configuration. It allows them to:
* Store application configuration in one common repository of XML files
* Access configuration data using one common,
* Easily define multiple configurations, dynamically modifying those variables that need to change in different situations
* Eliminate the error prone practice of defining the same configuration variables in multiple locations
* Ease the management, deployment, and control of configuration files |

| JEgg provides an implementation for Java Active Objects that simplifies the development of multithreaded Java applications. JEgg objects interact using arbitrary messages rather than synchronous method invocations. It can be configured to execute on the same or separate threads without changing the application logic, and it does not require the explicit use of Java synchronization or the java.lang.Thread class. Consequently, application objects are highly cohesive and loosely coupled with no compile-time dependencies. |

| The Thought River Commons is a collection of utilities and other nifty code items developed by Thought River North and Thought River South for use in our various internal projects, and made available for public use. Most experienced developers know that over time, the same needs are often encountered again and again. We wrote the Thought River Commons to satisfy those sorts of needs, and we figured that some other developers out there might make use of it, as well. |

| JoSQL provides SQL capabilities for querying, ordering, and grouping of collections of Java objects. It allows a SQL statement to be applied to the collection of objects and the matching set returned, ordered and grouped. It should be used when a RDBMS is either too heavyweight or too impractical. |

| JPF provides a runtime engine that dynamically discovers and loads \"plug-ins\". A plug-in is a structured component that describes itself to JPF using a \"manifest\". JPF maintains a registry of available plug-ins and the functions they provide (via extension points and extensions).
One major goal of JPF is that the application (and its end-user) should not pay any memory or performance penalty for plug-ins that are installed, but not used. Plug-ins are added to the registry at application start-up or while the application is running but they are not loaded until they are called.

| Dozer is a powerful, yet simple Java Bean to Java Bean mapper that recursively copies data from one object to another. Typically, these Java Beans will be of different complex types. Dozer supports simple property mapping, complex type mapping, bi-directional mapping, implicit-explicit mapping, as well as recursive mapping. The mapper is used any time you need to take one type of Java Bean and map it to another type of Java Bean. Most field mapping can be done automatically by Dozer using reflection, but any custom mapping can be predescribed in XML format. |

| Although the ZIP file format it is a proprietary, de-facto standard by PKWARE Inc., ZIP files are ubiquitous on the Internet and thus on many platforms today. The J2SE API provides a well known package java.util.zip with classes like ZipInputStream, ZipOutputStream and ZipFile for easy access to ZIP compatible files. However, this package has some limitations/disadvantages:
* Sun's implementation uses the character set UTF-8 (eight bit Unicode character set) for entry names and comments instead of CP437 (the genuine IBM-PC character set) as used by the de-facto standard PKZIP from PKWARE. As a result, you cannot read or write ZIP files with international entry file names such as \"t?cht.txt\" in a ZIP file created by a (southern) German.
* You need to use an additional API (the package java.util.zip) if your application needs to support ZIP compatible files in addition to ordinary files and directories, thereby significantly inflating your code and adding unnecessary complexity (which adds bugs, bugs, and even more bugs).
* You can either read or completely write ZIP compatible files, but you cannot just update individual entries.
* The classes do not support the concept of a directory, which you may want to create, modify, list or delete.
* You cannot browse a ZIP compatible file with a JFileChooser or FileSystemView.
The TrueZIP Library has been developed to overcome these limitations/disadvantages. |
