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.

Weka Machine Learning Project
An exciting and potentially far-reaching development in computer science is the invention and application of methods of machine learning. These enable a computer program to automatically analyse a large body of data and decide what information is most relevant. This crystallised information can then be used to automatically make predictions or to help people make decisions faster and more accurately.
The overall goal of our project is to build a state-of-the-art facility for developing machine learning (ML) techniques and to apply them to real-world data mining problems. Our team has incorporated several standard ML techniques into a software "workbench" called WEKA, for Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis. With it, a specialist in a particular field is able to use ML to derive useful knowledge from databases that are far too large to be analysed by hand. WEKA's users are ML researchers and industrial scientists, but it is also widely used for teaching.
The program downloads a html-page in regular intervals, and searches it for regular expressions.
All HTML-tags are removed, and the remaining text is searched for regular expressions, which can be defined in a list.
Matching rows are displayed in a panel, and different alarms may be triggered.
The alarms are repeated when the resultset changed.
Canoo WebTest is a free open source tool for automated testing of web applications.
It calls web pages and verifies results, giving comprehensive reports on success and failure. The White Paper provides an overview of the features and the design rationale. Detailed information is provided in the Manual Overview as well as the Install and Troubleshooting guides.
For those of you who've got into it you'll know that test driven development is great. It gives you the confidence to change code safe in the knowledge that if something breaks you'll know about it. Except for those bits you don't know how to test. Until now XML has been one of them. Oh sure you can use "<stuff></stuff>".equals("<stuff></stuff>"); but is that really gonna work when some joker decides to output a <stuff/>? -- damned right it's not ;-)
CSSToXSLFO is a utility which can convert an XML document, together with a CSS2 style sheet, into an XSL-FO document, which can then be converted into PDF, PostScript, etc. with an XSL-FO-processor. It has special support for the XHTML vocabulary, because that is the most obvious language it would be used for. The tool has a number of page-related extensions. It also comes with an API in the form of an XML filter.
Antmod is a Java and Ant based tool for:
1. Build Management:
* Antmod plugins help you speed-up java development
* Share build files across projects in a consistent way
2. Release Management:
* Release descriptors describe your projects
* Versioning is standardized across projects
* Modularize your software development process
3. Repository Management:
* CVS or Subversion repositories are accessible easily and consistently
PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python and Jython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others. If you want more details on the provided features, you can check here.
Test driven development (TDD) is emerging as one of the most successful developer productivity enhancing techniques to be recently discovered. The three-step: write test, write code, refactor – is a dance many of us are enjoying. This site is dedicated to promoting techniques, tools, and general good will in the test-driven community.
Natural Docs is an open-source, extensible, multi-language documentation generator. You document your code in a natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML documentation from it.
Pulse is an automated build or continuous integration server. Pulse regularly checks out your project's source code from your SCM, builds the project and reports on the results. A project build typically involves compiling the source code and running test
Jacksum is a free and platform independent software for computing and verifying checksums, CRCs and message digests (known as hash values and fingerprints). "Jacksum" is a synthetic word made of JAva and ChecKSUM.
This update includes the following significant changes : * New Single Sign-On Audit and Event management facilities have been introduced * Added support for Monitoring and Manage a JOSSO instance from an JMX Console * New feature available for GUI-based G
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
