LIMBAS is a web client/server application allowing you to develop application quickly without programming. This, only by the use of tables and forms and other modules like workflow engine, user management, report editor, file manager or soap interface.
An outstanding feature is complete use with an Internet-Browser without installations, Plugins or other components on the client.
Acceleo is the most powerful code generator tool of its generation. It has been designed to improve software development productivity. Acceleo brings to everyone the MDA approach applied to development industrialization
This project contains custom Hibernate and JRuby extensions to let Hibernate work directly with org.jruby.RubyObject objects. That means that the Hibernate session accepts and returns plain old Ruby objects (no intermediary Java domain classes are needed). Another goal is to provide a Rubyish interface to the Hibernate configuration and functionality.
The idea to start this project comes from Ola Bini's blog http://ola-bini.blogspot.com/2007/04/activehibernate-any-takers.html. For more details please see http://rubymatic.blogspot.com.

EAI - The Broader Perspective
No one should have (or will) ever dared to build a 'Single System' which will take care of the entire business requirements of an enterprise. Instead, we build few (or many) systems,and each of them takes care of a set of functionalities in a single Line of Business (LOB). There is absolutely nothing wrong here, but the need of the hour is that these systems have to exchange information and interoperate in many new ways which have not been foreseen earlier. Business grows, enterprise boundaries expands and mergers and acquisition are all norms of the day. If IT cannot scale up with these volatile environments, the failure is not far.
Agile Modeling (AM) is a practice-based methodology for effective modeling and documentation of software-based systems. Simply put, Agile Modeling (AM) is a collection of values, principles, and practices for modeling software that can be applied on a software development project in an effective and light-weight manner. As you see in Figure 1 AM is meant to be tailored into other, full-fledged development methodologies such as XP or RUP, enabling you to develop a software process which truly meets your needs. The techniques of AM, in particular Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD), the lifecycle for which is depicted in Figure 2, enable you to scale agile software development to very complex situations.
Agilefant is an open source tool for managing agile software development activities, such as: projects, products, releases, iterations and backlogs. It brings together the perspectives of long-term product and release planning and project portfolio management.
Business processes optimization with service-enabled applications is on the CIO's high priority agenda (according to a recent study of Gartner's Executive Program - EXP). At the same time a German study for SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) has confirmed this business need especially for Germany's distinct high share of SMEs.
AgilPro is a process integration framework based on a service oriented architecture (SOA). AgilPro integrates existing ERP (enterprise resource planning), material management and proprietary data processing systems using service adapters. Particularly SMEs are known to use isolated solutions which prevent integrated process flow. AgilPro Integration Framework will help to close this gap.
AgilPro integrates BPEL compliant process engines for process execution (e.g. JBoss jBPM).
The agimatec tools contain some utilities to enable generation of files, source code etc. from sql files and annotated java classes.
The agimatec-dbmigrate tool is a database migration/script execution framework that can execute sql scripts, groovy scripts and provides a lot of features to assist in database schema migration. (tested with Oracle and Postgres)
This is an early implementation of JSR 303 (Bean Validation), a specification of the Java API for JavaBean validation in Java EE and Java SE.
The technical objective is to provide a class level constraint declaration and validation facility for the Java application developer, as well as a constraint metadata repository and query API.
This implementation is based on the validation framework of agimatec GmbH, that is in production for more than a year and offers additional features, like XML-based extensible metadata, code generation (JSON for AJAX applications), JSR303 annotation support.

Java provides a neat way to carry out long lasting jobs without have to worry about threads and hanging the application. It's called SwingWorker. It's not the latest thing on Earth (released with Java 1.6) and you may have already read about it. What I never came across was a practical example of the swing worker.
XPath Explorer (XPE) is a GUI application that lets you interactively experiment with XPath. Basically, you type in a URL (to an XML or HTML document) and an XPath expression, and it displays the elements or attributes from that document which match that
What is Asynchronous IO for Java?
Asynchronous IO for JavaTM (AIO4J) is a package that provides the capability to perform input and output (IO) on sockets and files asynchronously -- that is, where the Java application can request the operation but can continue doing useful work while the underlying system performs the operation. The application is informed of the operation's completion later.
