Javadoc Doclets
You can use Javadoc doclets to customize javadoc output. A doclet is a Java program written with the Java Doclet API that specifies the content and format of the output to be generated by the javadoc tool. You can write a doclet to generate any kind of text-file output, such as HTML, SGML, XML, RTF, and MIF. JavaSoft provides only the "standard" doclet for generating HTML output with the traditional look and feel. Doclets can also be used to perform special tasks not related to producing API documentation. For example, a diagnostic doclet could be created to check that all class members of the classes on which javadoc operates have documentation comments.

DOC++
Cacao Home Page
CACAO is 64 bit just-in-time (JIT) compiler for Java. It translates Java byte code on demand into native code for the ALPHA processor. During this translation process the stack oriented Java byte code is transformed into a register oriented intermediate code. Local variables and stack locations are replaced by pseudo registers eliminating the 32 bit restriction on address types. A fast register allocation algorithm is applied to map the pseudo registers to machine registers. During code generation, field offsets are computed for proper alignment on 64 bit architectures. Even though the CACAO system has to incur loading and compilation time, it executes Java programs up to 85 times faster than the JDK interpreter, up to 7 times faster than the kaffe JIT compiler. It is slightly slower than equivalent C programs compiled at the highest optimization level.
Free Builder - a Free Java IDE Initiative
The Free Builder Project is initiated by a group of Java-Linux members who cooperate to develop a free Java Integrated Development Environment. We believe that Free Builder will make our life much easier, as Java becomes the most widely used language for distributed and general purpose programming.
Grok Project Home Page
The grok project is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine for Intel x86 Win32 platforms. It was started between Christmas '95 and NewYear's '96. Grok is a clean room implementation meaning that it was written from the Java documentation, and where the documentation was insufficent, from black box testing of the Sun implementation. It is not based on any source code. It is written in C++ using Microsoft VC++ 4. It is a just in time compiler, meaning it converts the java byte codes to native intel machine code before execution.

Java Language Development/Extensions

Cleanroom Java (for embedded real-time)
Demeter/Java - Java and Adaptive Programming (AP)
The E Programming Language
E is a programming language for writing distributed applications. It combines Sun's Java programming language with some powerful enhancements: communications extensions for the development of distributed applications; optimistic computation, a powerful method for reducing the effect of communications latency in distributed systems; and an improved security model based on capability semantics and public-key cryptography, permitting fine-grained control over access to system resources without sacrificing security.

High Performance Java
IMMD IV - MetaJava
MetaJava extends Java with a reflective metalevel architecture. Reflection is the capability of a system to reason about and act upon its own computation and adjust itself to changing conditions. Metaprogramming separates the adjusting mechanisms from the functionality of the program. It is even possible to formulate the metaprogram in a generic way and use it for arbitrary objects.
Jasmin
Jasmin is a Java Assembler Interface. It takes ASCII descriptions for Java classes, written in a simple assembler-like syntax and using the Java Virtual Machine instruction set. It converts them into binary Java class files suitable for loading into a Java interpreter.
Java Computing at Sun - Technology and Research
Java Distributed Systems
The mission of the Distributed Systems Group at JavaSoft is to exploit the power of the Java language to enable reliable computing over large-scale networks such as the Internet and to provide products, services, and resources that, from the point of view of the programmer and the end user, exist on the network itself.

JavaParty
JavaParty is an extension of Java with some important new features: Transparent Remote Objects. Although RMI seems to offer this, you really have to re-work your multi-threaded Java program significantly before you can exploit the combined computing power of all your workstations with RMI. JavaParty programs are just a tiny step away from regular Java; Object Mobility. JavaParty objects are free to move from one node of the network to another. Object migration results in locality of access and therefore may hide network latency. Migration is either triggered by the runtime system or can be initiated by the JavaParty programmer. A future version will have some additional compile time analysis; JavaParty compiles programs to ordinary Java ByteCode, and interfaces with existing Java code, retaining the broad compatibility of Java. And after you've added JavaParty, you can continue to use all of the old Java libraries as well as your own past code.
JAVAR - A prototype restructuring compiler for Java
JavaSpaces
JavaSpaces provide a distributed persistence and data exchange mechanisms for code written in the Java programming language. Data is written in entries that provide a typed grouping of relevant fields. Clients can perform simple operations on a JavaSpace to write new entries, lookup existing entries, and remove entries from the space. Using these tools, you can write systems to store state, and also write systems that use flow of data to implement distributed algorithms.

Juice Homepage
Juice is a new technology for distributing executable content across the World Wide Web. In this respect, it is similar to Java from Sun Microsystems. However, as we will try to explain in the following, Juice differs from Java in several important aspects that allows it to outperform Java in many "downloadable Applets" applications. The advantages of Juice become even more pronounced when the "Applets" are large. Java, on the other hand, has an advantage in the area for which it was originally invented: embedded applications in consumer electronics and household appliances. Juice is intended to be a complement to Java, giving users a choice: Java or Juice.

ObjectStore PSE for Java
ObjectStore PSE for Java (PSE) is the first persistent storage engine for Java developers, and you can use and distribute it Free of Charge! It provides an easy to use interface for storing and retrieving your Java objects in a single, persistent storage file. Additionally, the PSE API is compatible with the other Object Store APIs so you can scale your Java applets and applications between single-user desktop and distributed, highly available, multi-user execution without rearchitecting.
OZ: O-O Distributed Environment
OZ is an objected-oriented distributed systems environment under development to realize worldwide programming environment in which not only data but also services and classes over networks. OZ is implemented on Java.
Parameterized Types for Java
The Pizza Language and Compiler Site
Pizza is an extension of Java with three important new features: Parametric polymorphism (although superficially similar to C++'s templates, this implementation is based on the Hindley/Milner typing systems of ML and Haskell). First-class functions (similar to the blocks of Smalltalk, functions and procedures may be passed as parameters, stored in variables and returned from methods). Class cases and pattern matching. Pizza includes support for visitor-style patterns directly in the language, allowing much more expressive and readable code. Pizza compiles programs to ordinary Java Byte Code, and interfaces with existing Java code, retaining the broad compatibility of Java.

JACE: Java ACE
Java ACE is a collection of Java packages containing classes that have been converted from the C++ version of the ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE). The C++ version of ACE is a large object-oriented network programming toolkit which contains over 85,000 lines of C++ code and uses advanced C++ features like templates. The goal of converting ACE from C++ to Java is to provide a portable programming toolkit with a similar interface and functionality to the original version of ACE. This allows new and current users of C++ ACE an easy transition to Java and also adds significant value to programming concurrent Java networking applications. Note that applications written using Java ACE can communicate seamlessly over sockets with applications written using C++ ACE.

SAWT: Simple AWT
The Simple Abstract Windowing Toolkit (SAWT) by Claude Lecommandeur is an attempt to implement the java.awt.peer interface. SAWT places as few language functions in java.awt.peer as possible and reimplements the rest of them in Java code. The result is a fairly portable basis for the AWT.
SubArctic UI Toolkit
SubArctic is a new Java(tm)-based user interface toolkit under development by Scott Hudson and Ian Smith at the Graphics, Visualization, and Usability Center at Georgia Institute of Technology. SubArctic is not yet another AWT widget set. It is a complete, full functioned, industrial strength toolkit designed to be used for all your user interface needs. SubArctic is based on 10 years of toolkit research and is designed to offer the advanced interface techniques needed to go beyond static interfaces and simple collections of widgets. SubArctic is highly extensible and supports a number of sophisticated effects not available in other toolkits (and provides the basic infrastructure to build much more).

JSH - Java SHell
JSH implements a Unix like multiprocess environment within a single Java virtual machine. If you wish to run more than one Java application from inside JSH, you don't have the overhead of running multiple garbage collectors and native processes. JSH can get at a lot more information about each Java process than would be possible if it were running in a different VM. It is now possible to get detailed information about running threads, open windows and loaded classes. Each process will also have its own log of output sent to the system error stream.
JShell - The Java Shell
NCSA Habanero
The Habanero project at NCSA is investigating the enhancements in distributed interpersonal communication made possible when single-user computer software tools are recast as multi-user, collaborative work environments. Habanero is a framework for sharing Java objects with colleagues distributed around the Internet. Included, or planned, are all the networking facilities, routing, arbitration and synchronization mechanisms necessary to accomplish the sharing of state data and key events between collaborator's copies of a software tool. Authentication and privacy features are also planned.
Pretzel Homepage
Pretzel is a program that generates a prettyprinter module from a formal description of the way a certain language should be prettyprinted. A prettyprinter is a function or program that rearranges source code to enhance its readability. Prettyprinters generated by pretzel output LaTeX source code that can be used within your own documents. NB that pretzel produces modules, not programs! It also includes features to make Pretzel prettyprinters suitable for any target typesetter you like, they may even produce HTML output.
Promondia - Java-based Groupware
We have implemented a system, called Promondia, providing group communication functionality for the WWW. An early version of our system is known under the name COMO. Promondia consists of a server program and session starters implemented as Java applets, which are embedded in HTML documents. These applets are called session-management applets. When the user views an HTML document that contains a reference to a session-management applet, the browser loads this applet via HTTP and starts it. The applet does not necessarily have to be located on the same WWW server as the HTML page containing it. However, access via certain WWW servers can be restricted.
Voyager - an agent-enhanced Java ORB
Voyager is an agent-enhanced Object Request Broker (ORB) for Java. Voyager allows Java programmers to quickly and easily create sophisticated network applications using both traditional and agent-enhanced distributed programming techniques. Java programmers use regular Java message syntax to construct remote objects, send them messages, and move them between applications. This creates mobile autonomous agents that can roam a network and continue to execute as they move.
