AccuRev is a leading provider of software change & configuration management solutions.

Collaborate geographically distributed development teams efficiently:

Software development today is more complex than it was 20, 10 or even 5 years ago. Companies routinely perform software development in one or more locations, testing in another location, and release and packaging in yet another. This distribution of resources strains the software development infrastructure and raises security, intellectual property, auditing and compliance issues. AccuRev provides the innovative AccuReplica solution to assist companies in managing globally distributed development, whether it is between wholly owned locations of one company, or between company sites and independent offshore consulting sites.

Apache Archiva is an extensible repository management software that helps taking care of your own personal or enterprise-wide build artifact repository. It can act as a nearby (proxy) cache of popular global repositories. It has other features such as repository purge (of snapshots), repository search and browse, securing repositories, identifying unknown artifacts and reporting of repository problems. It is the perfect companion for build tools such as Maven, Continuum, and ANT.

Cache4j is a cache for Java objects with a simple API and fast implementation. It features in-memory caching, a design for a multi-threaded environment, both synchronized and blocking implementations, a choice of eviction algorithms (LFU, LRU, FIFO), and the choice of either hard or soft references for object storage.

Castor is an Open Source data binding framework for Java[tm]. It's the shortest path between Java objects, XML documents and relational tables. Castor provides Java-to-XML binding, Java-to-SQL persistence, Castor XML is an XML data binding framework. Unlike the two main XML APIs, DOM (Document Object Model) and SAX (Simple API for XML) which deal with the structure of an XML document, Castor enables one to deal with the data defined in an XML document through an object model which represents that data. Castor XML can marshal almost any "bean-like" Java Object to and from XML. In most cases the marshalling framework uses a set of ClassDescriptors and FieldDescriptors to describe how an Object should be marshalled and unmarshalled from XML.

Category: Code Generation

Coco/R is a compiler generator, which takes an attributed grammar of a source language and generates a scanner and a parser for this language. The scanner works as a deterministic finite automaton. The parser uses recursive descent. LL(1) conflicts can be resolved by a multi-symbol lookahead or by semantic checks. Thus the class of accepted grammars is LL(k) for an arbitrary k.

There are versions of Coco/R for different languages (see below). The latest versions from the University of Linz are those for C#, Java and C++, which can be downloaded from this site. As an exception, it is allowed to write an extension of Coco/R that is used as a plugin in non-free software. If not otherwise stated, any source code generated by Coco/R (other than Coco/R itself) does not fall under the GNU General Public License.

FireStorm/DAO is a code generator that makes software developers more productive by automatically generating DAO code for accessing relational databases. FireStorm/DAO's code generation approach cuts costs through higher developer productivity, better software quality, and lower maintenance costs.

FireStorm/DAO generates Java source code and configuration files that developers would otherwise have to write by hand. FireStorm/DAO generates code that is compliant with the Data Access Object (DAO) design pattern (DAO is a core J2EE design pattern). FireStorm/DAO can also generate native persistence code for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) products (such as Hibernate), without the option of using the DAO design pattern. When generating Hibernate code (without DAOs), FireStorm/DAO produces Hibernate persistent classes and a Hibernate mapping file (*.hbm.xml) for each database table.

Put simply, Guice alleviates the need for factories and the use of new in your Java code. Think of Guice's @Inject as the new new. You will still need to write factories in some cases, but your code will not depend directly on them. Your code will be easier to change, unit test and reuse in other contexts.

Guice embraces Java's type safe nature, especially when it comes to features introduced in Java 5 such as generics and annotations. You might think of Guice as filling in missing features for core Java. Ideally, the language itself would provide most of the same features, but until such a language comes along, we have Guice.

Category: Testing: Code Coverage

Code coverage analysis (also called test coverage analysis) is an important step in software testing. As a white box testing strategy, it helps the testing team in determining if adequate testing has been done. Coverage analysis reveals areas of the code that have not been exercised during testing.
