Open Source Java Build Tools

JSmooth creates standard Windows executable files (.exe) that smartly launch java applications. It makes java deployment much smoother and user-friendly, as it is able to find and run Java VMs by itself, or help the user get one if none are available.

One-JAR(TM) is a simple solution to a vexing problem in Java: how to distribute an application as a single jar-file, when it depends on multiple other jar-files. One-JAR uses a custom classloader to discover library jar files inside the main jar.

JxMake is a Java-based cross-platform build system primarily inspired by the syntax and features of GNU Make, Perforce Jam, and CMake. Additionally, JxMake also supports several other features that are not included with other console-based build systems, such as a built-in simple GUI, serial console, serial plotter, etc. Currently, the JxMake loadable libraries (build scripts) are more focused on building for embedded systems. However, support for building desktop applications will also be improved in the future. Building JxMake requires Java SDK 8 or later (note that Java SDK 8 is an LTS version).

This eclipse plugin allows for the export of an eclipse project's runtime configurations to shell scripts in various formats. This allows for the execution of java code OUTSIDE the Eclipse environment without having to custom write the shell script code.

Creates Installers using Ant by configuring an XML file (no java required): The installer collects user input, then run specific Ant targets from a build.xml file. Runs in a Swing GUI or on the command line.

AntDepo is a flexible distributed automation harness that enables you to break complex management processes down into reusable generic commands. For more information, visit http://www.antdepo.org.

An architecture description language (DiaSpec) supports the description of components of a given distributed computing area. From these descriptions, DiaGen generates a dedicated programming framework to support distributed application development.

The DocSOAP XML Development Kit (XDK) is a Java Web Services SOAP, and XML Development Kit that provides effective and efficient ways of manipulating XML documents and building Web services solutions for "document style SOAP".

It's new technology for Development Personal Creation/Customization Services , based on XML standard and DAFSM (Finite State Machine Theory) , using multiple call control protocols.

FireAnt is an Eclipse plugin for modeling complex remote deployment and configuration processes. It allows developers to model the deployment and execution of groups of packages and configuration scripts on remote targets. It provides a deployment engine

Ant tasks for sending Instant Message notifications. Currently supporting AIM, Jabber (& Secure Jabber) , Yahoo!, and MSN Messenger.

JABS is a web based command scheduler and execution system. Commands are added to projects as tasks. Projects can scheduled and/or executed immediately. Result reports are saved and optionally emailed.

Provide a plugabble and configurable alternative to UNIX tools like grep, awk, tail, head, cut, sort, uniq or even some perl based scripts in a Java environment. A bit like what Apache Ant means to good old make.

Java IDE, project support, build, debugger, grep.

A collection of utilities for working with SourceForge programmatically. The initial release is spearheaded by a programmatic interface to the File Release System.

HOOPLE is a portable collection of C++ source code, featuring thread-safe objects for collections and event processing, RPC-style plugin-based encrypted networking (CROMP / octopus), bookmark collection management utilities, and a lot of other cool stuff. This is the project page for HOOPLE version 1, which was retired on September 25 2010. The code supposedly still builds on both Linux (with gnu gcc) and on Windows (with ms visual studio). Most of the code from hoople1 has moved into the Feisty Meow® Concerns Ltd codebase, available at http://feistymeow.org for your enjoyment.

Java utility to easily manage the creation and management of WHATSNEW/CHANGES type files. Console aplication and Ant task are provided.

Netflow analyzing tools : JXColl - collector for Netflow (or XML specified) data Analyzer - front-end application for providing an user interface and output (graphs, statistics, etc.)

an integration framework for UML and MOF case tools based on Jini and SOAP. It exchanges models from ArgoUML, Poseidon, Rose, etc. as XMI (UML stored in XML), checks them and generates code. New services simply plug in and can be shared world-wide.

The "File Piper" is a file processing tool. It provides a set of standard file manipulation (copy, head, tail, chunk, zip, search…) in a user-friendly nice-looking Swing interface with possibility to add custom processors written in Java.

Extracts information about jsp pages for use by developers. Integrates with regular javadoc documentation for .java files.

JaDiMa (Java Distributed Machine} is a collaborative platform to construct high performance distributed java applications on grid platforms. It is a system that automatically and transparently manages the remote libraries used in a java application.

SysUnit is a JUnit framework for distributed testing, system testing and integration testing. SysUnit is ideal for testing highly distributed software such as clusters of web applications, web services or MOM based software

Webploy is an open source pluggable install system for Java based web applications. If you deliver web based applications that others will install, Webploy is exactly what you need.
