The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for XML and non-XML Processing.
Smooks
Smooks is a Java framework for managing and performing Fragment Based XML Processing (Transformation/Analysis).
Smooks can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to XSLT for XML Transformation.
Smooks gives you more control when performing XML Transformations and Analysis by giving you the freedom to use the tools and programming languages most appropriate to the type of transformation in question (or your skillset).
* Mix and Match different tools and languages in the process of transforming a single message/document e.g. it may be easier to transform one part of the document using pure Java and another part using XSLT.
* Simplify your XSLT and StringTemplate Templates by combining the power of the Smooks Javabean and Templating Cartiridges.
* Analyse/Read your XML and non-XML data into named Javabeans using the Smooks Javabean Cartiridge.

Dopus is a Docbook publishing framework. It was designed with portability and extensibility in mind. Dopus can run on any Windows or Unix platform that supports Java.
Dopus was developed during a project for T-Systems Germany. T-Systems generously agreed to open source the newly developed parts of Dopus (Ant script and Docbook customization layer) for which we are very gratefull.
We have agreed to host Dopus here on our website as a free product we want to give back to the Docbook community. The Dopus framework is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The various parts of the Dopus framework are distributed under their respective (free) licenses.
Dopus is still pretty young but is already used in various projects.
