a free source code editor which supports several programming languages running under the MS Windows environment. based on Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component)
a free user interface builder for GTK+ and GNOME interfaces designed are saved as XML, and by using the libglade library these can be loaded by applications dynamically as needed. (Glade can also generate C code)
Simple is a high performance XML serialization and configuration framework for Java. Its goal is to provide an XML framework that enables rapid development of XML configuration and communication systems. This framework aids the development of XML systems with minimal effort and reduced errors. It offers full object serialization and deserialization, maintaining each reference encountered. In essence it is similar to C# XML serialization for the Java platform, but offers additional features for interception and manipulation.

he goal of XMLVM is to offer a flexible and extensible cross-compiler toolchain. Instead of cross-compiling on a source code level, XMLVM cross-compiles byte code instructions from Sun Microsystem's virtual machine and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime. The benefit of this approach is that byte code instructions are easier to cross-compile and the difficult parsing of a high-level programming language is left to a regular compiler. In XMLVM, byte code-based programs are represented as XML documents. This allows manipulation and translation of XMLVM-based programs using advanced XML technologies such as XSLT, XQuery, and XPath.
Pivot is an open-source platform for building rich internet applications in Java. It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern RIA toolkit with the robustness of the industry-standard Java platform.
Pivot applications are written using a combination of Java and XML and can be run either as an applet or as a standalone (optionally offline) desktop application. While Pivot was designed to be familiar to web developers who have experience building AJAX applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it provides a much richer set of standard widgets than HTML, and allows developers to create sophisticated user experiences much more quickly and easily. Pivot will also seem familiar to Swing developers, as both Swing and Pivot are based on Java2D and employ a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture to separate component data from presentation. However, Pivot includes additional features that make building modern GUI applications much easier, including declarative UI, data binding, effects and transitions, and web services integration.
This is the Wiki for the Pivot project. It includes a collection of demos as well as a tutorial introduction to the platform:
Jersey 1.0 is an open-source, production-ready reference implementation of JAX-RS, the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JSR-311). Jersey makes it easy to create RESTful web services in Java.
In an earlier Tech Tip, Implementing RESTful Web Services in Java, Paul Sandoz and I introduced RESTful Web Services, JAX-RS, and Jersey, and showed how to write RESTful web services in Java that conform to the JAX-RS specification. In this tip you will learn how to configure data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) using Jersey 1.0. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is based on the object notation of the JavaScript language. Because of it's simple text format, JSON provides a good alternative to other data interchange formats such as XML and is particularly attractive as a data interchange format for RESTful web services.
In this tip you will build a Jersey-based web application that provides information about printer status. The application returns the information in JSON format. To build the application, you will use the Maven 2 software project management tool. For more information about Maven, see Welcome to Maven and Building Web Applications with Maven 2.
JSefa (Java Simple exchange format api) is a simple library for stream-based serialization of java objects to XML, CSV, and FLR (extensible to other formats) and back again using an iterator-style interface independent of the serialization format. The mapping between java object types and types of the serialization format (e. g. xml complex element types) can be defined either by annotating the java classes or programmatically using a simple API. The current implementation supports XML, CSV and FLR (Fixed Length Record) - for XML it is based on JSR 173.
JSR 173 (Stax) is a popular stream-based XML API for java providing an iterator-style interface ("pull"-mechanism in contrast to the "push"-mechanism provided by SAX). But JSR 173 defines a low-level API not designed for directly serializing java objects and back again. On the other hand traditional high-level APIs like JAXB or Castor are not stream-based, so that reading a xml document will generate java objects holding the data of the complete xml document in memory at the same time. Even the integration of StAX into JAXB 2.0 is only a first step to high-level streaming, as two independent APIs have to be used in parallel. JSefa provides a convenient and performant approach to high-level streaming using an iterator-style interface. It has a layered API with the top layer allowing the streaming to be independent of the serialization format type (XML, CSV or whatever). The current implementation provides support for XML, CSV, and FLR.
It is currently common to build a number of releases from a single code base. For example, a development release, a QA release, a production release and perhaps customer-specific releases. However, these releases seem to differ mostly in the contents of their XML configuration files, and then only very little. Maintaining all these slightly different configuration files is a real nuisance.
XConf was created to simplify this maintenance. Its fundamental premise is that a single development-release (or production-release) configuration file is created and maintained, and is processed by XConf at either build or deployment time into an appropriate release by applying one or more XML-based scripts. Each script contains only the differences required to create the appropriate release, thus removing the need for the mass duplication of configuration files.
This is not really a new solution, since XSLT has been used in the past to do this quite successfully, but XPath can get a little arcane, and maintaining transformation scripts using XSLT can become really complex very quickly. XConf uses a very simple and compact method of specifying elements that need to be processed, and provides some very useful constructs to make transformations painless.
Flying Saucer is an XHTML renderer written in Java. It's 100% Java, not a native wrapper, and it only handles well-formed XHTML + CSS. It is intended for embedding web-based user interfaces into Java applications (ex. web photo album generator, help viewer, iTunes Music Store clone). It cannot be used as a general purpose web browser since it does not support the malformed legacy HTML found on the web, though recent work on compatibility libraries may be enough to do what you need. You may be able to work with legacy HTML (e.g. HTML that is not well-formed XML) by using a pre-processor that cleans it up; there are several of these, including JTidy and TagSoup.

Metawidget takes your domain objects and automatically creates User Interface components for them, saving you handcoding your UIs and leaving you to concentrate on stitching together your application.
As much as possible, Metawidget does this without introducing new technologies. It inspects, at runtime, an application's existing back-end architecture (such as JavaBeans, annotations, XML configuration files) and creates components native to its existing front-end framework (such as Swing, Java Server Faces, Struts or Android).
Metawidget does not hide the power of your existing User Interface framework from you and guarantees that your investment in its technology and knowledge is as valid as always. The LGPL open source license allows the use of Metawidget in open source and commercial projects.
AjaxToaster is built on XMLToaster and inspired by the "guerrilla SOA" philosphy. It gives you the power to easily create JSON & XML based CRUD services for your web applications. It runs as a servlet in an app-server or with its own standalone server.
What is Kernow?
Kernow is an open source tool designed to make it faster and easier to repeatedly run transforms using Saxon.
It uses compiled stylesheets, multiple threads and caching resolvers to make the transforms run efficiently, and comboboxes that remember between runs to save your fingers having to retype paths. Kernow is runnable from Ant allowing it to slot into your build process, and its a high level API for Saxon making it very easy to run transforms from your own Java applications.
