Java Resources
In order to compile and run program in Java you need JDK .
- Java for Solaris (SPARC and x86)
- Java for Windows.
- Sun's JDK
- JDK 1.1.7 from IBM.
outperformed both the Sun and the Microsoft 1.1 JVM's by 20% on most benchmarks. - Java for MacOS
- Linux
- Other operating systems. Up-to-date list maintained by Sun.
- Kaffe OpenVM :
Kaffe is a Java virtual machine (JVM), developed independently of Sun, that supports PersonalJava 1.1 bytecode and comes with its own standard class libraries, beans, Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), and native libraries. There is even a just-in-time (JIT) compiler. The entire works comes with source code (under LGPL). If you need some other license for the code, the site says that you can actually pay them for a license with less encumberances. - Japhar :
This Java virtual machine, from the Hungry Programmers, comes with source code (under LGPL). Like Kaffe, it was written independently of Sun. It looks like it supports a lot of Java 1.1 and 1.2.
- JGL, the Java Generic Library. Data structures and algorithms for Java: stacks, queues, sorting, searching, sets, etc. Licensed by Microsoft and Borland, but can be downloaded and used for free.
- Jikes Debugger. A graphical debugger for Java from IBM.
- Components from ORO Inc. Regular expressions; packages for FTP, NNTP, SMTP, etc; AWK-like tools; etc.
- WebMacro Servlet Toolkit. From Justin Wells et al.
- Java DDE Toolkit. Allows applications or applets (with pre-installed code on the client and CLASSPATH set) to communicate with Windows applications via the Dynamic Data Exchance protocol. Windows 95/NT only.
- Georgia Tech's "Sub Arctic" UI Toolkit for Java. By Scott Hudson and Ian Smith.
- TclJava. A free Tcl/Java integration toolkit. Applications only.
- A free Java-to-C compiler. From Yukio Andoh.
- A public domain C++ to Java translator. From Chris Laffra.
- Java Class Viewer. View the fields and methods of a class file. From Robert Raud.
OpenMap - Open Systems Mapping Technology :
OpenMap is an open source JavaBeans toolkit that allows you to "build applications and applets that access data from legacy databases and applications" (quoted from their website). Note that you should read their licence agreement before you blindly use the package, since it is not one of the standard open source licences. (At the time I looked at it, I got the impression that if you make a derivative work from their toolkit, you are also giving them the permission to make a derivative work from your program. But it's best you read the licence agreement yourself.)

Sun's JavaMail API :
Sun's JavaMail API provides you a set of abstract classes that helps you to build mail and messenging applications. This reference implementation is royalty free (but only provided in binary form). You need the JavaBeans Activation Framework to use this (see elsewhere on this page).

Sun's JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) :
The JavaBeans Activation Framework, or JAF, to quote verbatim from their website, allow you to use standard services "to determine the type of an arbitrary piece of data, encapsulate access to it, discover the operations available on it, and to instantiate the appropriate bean to perform said operation(s)". This reference implementation is royalty free, and provided only in binary form.

package gnu.regexp (Regular Expressions for Java) :
Gnu.regexp contains an implementation of the GNU regular expressions engine in Java. The package is released under LGPL and comes with source code.

Java SNMP Package :
The Java SNMP Package implements the SNMP protocol with support for the SNMP client and agent operations in SNMP versions 1 and 2 (except the security model of version 2).

GNU Getopt (Java port) :
As is obvious from the name, this is a Java port of the GNU getopt() command line parser.

QFLib :
This Java library is compatible with JDK 1.1, 1.2 and above. The library supports the following: a logging system, GUI stuff, "especially a JTable extension that supports sorting and filtering with only a few lines of code", and a collection of miscellaneous utilities (command line parser, thread pool, etc).

ObjectDB for Java/JDO Free Database Edition :
ObjectDB for Java/JDO is an Object Database Management System (ODBMS) written in Java. It is JDO compliant (Java Data Objects), allows your application to query the database using JDO Query (JDOQL), allows you to have up to 5,000 Java objects per database, uses a single file database, etc. The free edition may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Cyrus SASL :
To quote, "the Cyrus SASL library is a generic library for SASL authentication, as used in SMTP and IMAP protocols. It's used for authentication by the Cyrus IMAP server as well as the Sendmail 8.10 release." It also includes a Java SASL library. Note that the link above is to an FTP directory. Look for a file like "cyrus-sasl-1.5.20.tar.gz" (the numbers may change when newer versions are released).
GNU Classpath :
This is a free replacement for Sun's proprietary class libraries. It is still currently under development. The intention is for the released version to be fully compatibile with Java 1.1 and mostly compatible with 1.2.

Decompilers. These turn .class files into usually-readable source.
- Mocha. The original From H.P. van Vliet. (Note: there is also Jasmine, a for-fee update to mocha that has a free trial version.)
- JAD. Jad reads one or more Java class files and converts them to Java source files which can be compiled again. It is able to comment Java source code with JVM bytecodes. It is available for Windows 95/98/NT, various Unices (eg Linux, Rhapsody, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD) and OS/2.
- jclassinfo :
jclassinfo is a utility written in C (with the source code provided) that reads Java class files and provides you information about the class, its dependencies and so on. It supports both Windows and Linux.
Javalyzer
Javalyzer is a Java class disassembler. It requires Windows 95, 98 or NT with Internet Explorer 4.01 and above.
