Lets you build an executable jar with Maven2, containing all dependencies.
You can do that with the assembly plugin too, but that will just unpack all dependencies together with your classes in one directory and then repack that directory into a new jar. Doing it that way means files will overwrite each other if they have the same names in the same path, which is quite common with resources such as log4.properties and even other more important files.
With onejar-maven-plugin, you'll instead get a nice clean super jar with the dependency jars inside.
The Animal Sniffer Plugin is used to build signatures of APIs and to check your classes against previously generated signatures. This plugin is called animal sniffer because the principal signatures that are used are those of the Java Runtime, and since Sun traditionally names the different versions of its Java Runtimes after different animals, the plugin that detects what Java Runtime your code requires was called "Animal Sniffer".
Normally smartphone events are tightly coupled to your phone device itself. When your cell phone is ringing, your phone speaker plays a ringtone. When you get a new text message, your phone displays it on its screen. Wouldn't it be thrilling to make thoses phone events visible somewhere else, on your wearable, in your living room, on your robot, in your office or where ever you want it to occur? Or would you like to use your smartphone sensors, like the accelerometer, light sensor, compass or your touchscreen to control other devices? 'android meets arduino' is a toolkit, basically consisting of an Android application and an Arduino library which will help you to interface with your phone in a new dimension. You can build your own interfaces almost without any programming experience.

Akka is the platform for the next generation event-driven, scalable and fault-tolerant architectures on the JVM
We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
Akka is here to change that.
Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provides a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.
For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash" / "Embrace failure" model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heals, systems that never stop.
Actors also provides the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
Akka is Open Source and available under the Apache 2 License.
NET2Java a new technology that helps you take an application written in Visual Basic or C# to the .NET platform, and translate it into a program written in Java source code. Right now its available through a NetBeans plugin that's included in the distribution files.
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.
Hibernate Annotations is my preferred way to map my entity classes, since they don't require any external file (thus keeping mapping info in your Java files), is fully integrated with all Hibernate mapping capabilities and Hibernate documentation encourages us to use this kind of configuration because it's more efficient.
Annotation driven mapping in Hibernate uses the standard JPA API annotations and introduce some specific extensions to deal with some Hibernate features. You can find a full reference in the official documentation.
JGraph X is the next generation of Java Swing Diagramming Library, factoring in 7 years of architectural improvements into a clean, concise design. JGraph X provides a simple, powerful API, as well a more application-centric feature set. The result is a low learning curve and faster implementation of customizations in your development. JGraph X shares the core model of mxGraph, so your JGraph X application more easily ports directly to an mxGraph web application.

* Reorganize the windows of your application by drag and drop.
* Minimize and maximize your windows.
* Save your workspace.
* Organize the toolbars, buttons, and actions of your application.
Buoy is a library for creating user interfaces in Java programs. It is built on top of Swing, but provides a completely new set of classes to represent graphical components. It offers many advantages over using Swing directly, including:
* A much simpler, cleaner, and more consistent API
* A better mechanism for laying out interface components
* A far more powerful event handling mechanism, which is based on dynamic binding of arbitrary methods as event listeners
* Built in support for serializing user interfaces as XML, then reconstructing them again
Other important features of Buoy include:
* It forms a "transparent wrapper" around Swing. It hides the complexity of Swing when you don't want to deal with it, but doesn't get in your way when you actually need that complexity.
* It is very small and efficient. The entire compiled library is only 200 K.
* It is written entirely in Java, and works on any JVM that is compatible with J2SE 1.4 or later.
* All source code is in the public domain.
Swing Explorer is a tool for Swing developers intended for visual exploring of Swing-based application internals. It finds all windows in explored Swing application and displays their component hierarchies as a tree. Each component in the tree can be displayed in the Swing Explorer's work area and visually inspected. Swing Explorer helps to determine sub-components when user moves mouse over them and provides additional information about currently selected component (layout, size, coordinates, border and other things). Additionally it allows to view basic graphical operations used to draw swing components like DebugGraphics does, but in more convenient way.
The goal of Autofetch is reduce the modularity penalty and programmer burden of specifying associations which should be loaded with an object query. These specifications are sometimes are called fetch profiles, prefetch directives, or joins. These specifications are an important performance optimization because they reduce the number of round-trips to a persistence store whether that be a relational database, object database, or flat file. Autofetch is a library which integrates with object persistence tools and automatically handles prefetching data. Using dynamic program profiling, Autofetch determines the right prefetch directives for each query a program executes.

Open Forum is an application providing a Wiki style collaboration platform. It comes ready to run out of the box and has an integrated web server and user authentication.
In addition to the standard Wiki functions of page editing, OpenForum allows the Wiki platform to be extended, tailored and integrated with existing systems. This is achieved by the use of server side Javascript scripts and Java plugins. The server side scripts can be edited from within the Wiki itself. In fact all the Wiki actions, such as editing pages, uploading attachments and controlling access are defined in Javascript scripts that can be edited from within the Wiki.
* OpenForum has the ability to serve real-time content mixed with static content using a number of AJAX style functions.
* OpenForum can access databases, REST applications and Xml based web services as well as being able to provide services to other applications.
* OpenForum has a rich set of templateing functions to enable the Wiki to have a consistent look and feel.
* Unlike many Wiki's, OpenForum allows pages to be organised hierarchically with hierarchical templates and access control.
