Library for creating and validating licenses.
License4J's key concept is features of a license. You can add any feature to your license file, i.e. name of the product, version, expiry date, number of executable instances, customer's name, company, IP address, etc. The feature's value can be string or any serializable Java object. You can have unsigned features - features that are not used in the signature generation/verification and therefore can change their values leaving the license valid. Also the library provides methods for signing arbitrary content that should not be changed by the user.

Latest version: 1.1
Added 2005-06-30

Commons-launcher eliminates the need for a batch or shell script to launch a Java class. Some situations where elimination of a batch or shell script may be desirable are:
* You want to avoid having to determining where certain application paths are e.g. your application's home directory, etc. Determining this dynamically in a Windows batch scripts is very tricky on some versions of Windows or when softlinks are used on Unix platforms.
* You want to avoid having to handle native file and path separators or native path quoting issues.
* You need to enforce certain system properties e.g. java.endorsed.dirs when running with JDK 1.4.
* You want to allow users to pass in custom JVM arguments or system properties without having to parse and reorder arguments in your script. This can be tricky and/or messy in batch and shell scripts.
* You want to bootstrap system properties from a configuration file instead hard-coding them in your batch and shell scripts.
* You want to provide localized error messages which is very tricky to do in batch and shell scripts.

GOLD Parser

Categories: Miscellaneous

Latest version: 3.4.3
Added 2005-03-15Updated 2007-05-21

Parsing system that you can use to develop your own programming languages, scripting languages and interpreters.

The GOLD Parser strives to be a development tool that can be used with numerous programming languages and on multiple platforms.
Unlike common compiler-compilers, the GOLD Parser does not require you to embed your source code directly into the grammar. Instead, the application analyzes the grammar and then saves the parse tables to a separate file. This file can be subsequently loaded by the actual parser engine and used.

Since the parse tables are programming language independent, the parser engine can be, and has been, implemented in different programming languages. As a result, the GOLD Parser supports multiple programming languages.
Supported languages include: ANSI C, C#, C++, Delphi, Java, Python, Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET, and wxWidgets.

Latest version: 4.4
Added 2005-09-20Updated 2007-02-13

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. This includes mapping collection attributes that also need mapping at the element level.
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. Mapping is bi-directional so only one relationship between classes needs defining. If any property names on both objects are the same you do not even need to do any explicit property mapping for these fields.

Features include:
- Context based mapping
- Collection and Array mapping handling Lists, Sets, Arrays and allowing for class type hints
- Support for custom converters
- Custom bean factories for beans that do not follow the JavaBean specification
- Inheritance mapping including abstract classes and interfaces

JDRing

Home Page

Categories: Miscellaneous

Latest version: 2.0
Added 2006-03-20

Scheduling library that supports ringing alarms at specified intervals, as one-time events, or on complex schedules with full cron-like control.

Features include:
- Alarms are added to and removed from the schedule in code. No file formats or XML schemas to learn.
- You can optionally specify a name for each alarm; this lets you use a single listener for multiple alarms.
- Alarms can be rung at a fixed interval, or at a single fixed date, or on a cron-based flexible schedule.
- With cron-style scheduling, you can provide a list of minutes, hours, days of the month, days of the week, and months (or "all" for any of these), and the alarm will ring on every match.
- Counting standards are consistent with the java.utils.Calendar class, so minutes range from 0 to 59, hours from 0 to 23, days of the week from 1 (Sunday) to 7, and days of the month from 1 to 31 (depending on the month).
- Alarms by default are rung (listeners are notified) within a single alarm thread, so a long-running alarm will delay following alarms until it completes. This may be what you want, because alarm tasks may be dependent on previous ones. If not, any alarm may be flagged to ring in a separate thread, so that it will not delay the other alarms.

This allows you to distribute your Java application as a genuine Win32 binary executable. Your users will never need to run an ugly batch file to run your application. You will not have to distribute any temp or config files along with your executable. You will never need to learn JNI and have a C compiler to make a launcher for your application. You will save the hours of effort needed for writing a native launcher with this one tool.

- Generic queries can match identifiers or string literals across multiple programming languages
- Complex queries can match complex statements
- Queries can have patterns (or regular expressions) on character strings
- Numbers can compared to values or ranges
- Language elements are normalized so escape conventions do not confound searches
- Searches ignore language-specific intervening whitespace, linebreaks and comments, providing more accurate answers
- Optional GREP-like string (regular expression) search
- Scrollable list of search hits with context
- Can handle many computer languages (Java, C#, C++, etc.)

The current features include
* viewing the current nodes in the cluster and their current state
* listening to nodes arrive, update their state, shut down or fail
* communicate with the cluster as a whole or with any specific node in the cluster

JEF

Home Page

Categories: Frameworks, Miscellaneous

Latest version: 0.4.1
Added 2005-09-22

JEF, acronym for Java Evolutionary Framework, is a project aimed to both define and implement a genetic programming framework for the Java programming language.
JEF has been conceived as divided into three subprojects, namely: Dna, Jef and JXTA-Jef :

Dna: this is the basic building block for the JEF Proj since it provides a framework for dynamically manipulating Java class files. Amongst all the possibilities, this package allows developers to obtain object oriented Java class files representations, modify them according to their own needs up to the bytecode level (thus removing, adding or modifying the bytecode of already existing methods), add brand new methods to already existing classes, or even programmatically create new classes completely from scratch, validate newly created class files according to the constraints imposed by the Official Java Class File Specification, all by means of an easy to use/understand and well defined API characterized by a rapid learning curve.

Jef: the Jef subproject is meant to define the interfaces as well as some basic implementations of all those classes involved in the process of mixing two Java class files in order to generate a potentially brand new implementation, according to a customizable logic. This subproject is aimed to provide both demonstrative Mixer implementations and implementations useful to be deployed either directly or to be used as starting point for customized Mixer implementations. In the latter case developers will be berived of the burden of taking care of how some complex functionalities should be implemented, relying upon well tested and working implementations.

JXTA-Jef: deploying the Jef-Dna framework over a number of somehow interconnected computing-capable nodes, will enable us to let heterogeneous Java class files (i.e. mobile agents, teleo-reactive agents, etc.) move from one node to another, and potentially evolve with a really low degree of human interaction. This subproject is therefore necessary for building a decentralized (P2P - peer to peer) overlay network gathering Jef-capable nodes.
