NekoHTML

NekoHTML

NekoHTML is a simple HTML scanner and tag balancer that enables application programmers to parse HTML documents and access the information using standard XML interfaces. The parser can scan HTML files and "fix up" many common mistakes that human (and computer) authors make in writing HTML documents. NekoHTML adds missing parent elements; automatically closes elements with optional end tags; and can handle mismatched inline element tags.

NekoHTML is written using the Xerces Native Interface (XNI) that is the foundation of the Xerces2 implementation. This enables you to use the NekoHTML parser with existing XNI tools without modification or rewriting code.

ProGuard

ProGuard

ProGuard is a free Java class file shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator. It can detect and remove unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. It can then optimize bytecode and remove unused instructions. Finally, it can rename the remaining classes, fields, and methods using short meaningless names. The resulting jars are smaller and harder to reverse-engineer.

Welcome to Muse!

Welcome to Muse!: "Overview

Muse is a robust Java implementation of the Management using Web Services (MuWS) 0.5 specification and the underlying WS-* specifications it is based upon. The next major release of Muse, targeted for March 2005, will be an implementation of the soon-to-be-released MuWS 1.0 specification."

TestNG

TestNG

TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as:

* JSR 175 Annotations (JDK 1.4 is also supported with JavaDoc annotations).
* Flexible test configuration.
* Default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies).
* Powerful execution model (no more TestSuite).
* Supports dependent methods.

I started TestNG out of frustration for some JUnit deficiencies which I have documented on my weblog here, here and in particular, here. Reading these entries might give you a better idea of the goal I am trying to achieve with TestNG. You can also check out a quick overview of the main features and an article describing a very concrete example where the combined use of several TestNG's features provides for a very intuitive and maintainable testing design.

Tribe - Home Page

Tribe - Home Page

Tribe is a Java-based group communication library. It is based on reliable point-to-point FIFO communication channels (basically TCP) and targets high performance cluster environments. Unlike JGroups, Tribe only targets reliable multicast (no probabilistic delivery) and is optimized for cluster communications.
