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.

Allora leverages leading edge XML mapping and database technology to give application developers  bi-directional access to relational databases without the need for complex SQL or XSLT programming.  Allora speeds development and deployment by accurately and transparently transforming data  structures between XML elements and relational database structures. Once Allora mapping  is in place, full bi-directional XML-RDB access is enabled. Allora gives developers a simplified,  consistent XML interface to relational data. Allora brings even more value to application developers or DBAs that need to integrate any relational  database (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase, MS Access, Gupta, Ingres, Datacom, IDMS,  PostgreSQL, VisualFox Pro, Pointbase, etc…) with complex industry standard schemas.

XML-based applications often require the use of an XSLT engine for performing transformations, an XQuery engine for executing queries, and/or an XML parser for well-formedness checking and validation. Altova makes the same engines that drive its award-winning XMLSpy, MapForce, and StyleVision XML development tools available for use in your custom applications. That means you can use the very engines that have helped make Altova software the industry’s leading XML development toolset in your own applications – free of charge!

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. 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.

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.

Develop applications in a Windows environment and then compile and test them in the target environment which might be Windows/.NET, Java/J2EE or the IBM System i. CA Plex supports the development of many different types of applications including client/server, web-based, service-oriented, character-based, batch and wireless device-based, all from a single set of skills and development techniques.

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.

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.

EAOP means Event-based Aspect-Oriented Programming and it is used for Java. The EAOP software provides a Java testable for the definition of expressive aspect languages. It enables weaving of aspect behavior during program execution based on relations between execution events. It supports the definition of expressive aspect languages and a general notion of dynamic aspect composition. - Read more

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.

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.

JiBX is a tool for binding XML data to Java objects. It's extremely flexible, allowing you to start from existing Java code and generate an XML schema, start from an XML schema and generate Java code, or bridge your existing code to a schema that represents the same data. It also provides very high performance, outperforming all other Java data binding tools across a wide variety of tests.

JODE is a java package containing a decompiler and an optimizer for java. This package is freely available under the GNU GPL. New: The bytecode package and the core decompiler is now under GNU Lesser General Public License, so you can integrate it in your project.
The decompiler reads in class files and produces something similar to the original java file. Of course this can't be perfect: There is no way to produce the comments or the names of local variables (except when compiled with debuging) and there are often more ways to write the same thing. However, JODE does its job quite well, so you should give it a try and start the applet Jode has support for all constructs of JDK-1.3 including inner and anonymous classes.
