Free 10.2 software for linux

IzPack is an installers generator for the Java platform. IzPack project produces lightweight installers that can be run on any operating system where a Java virtual machine is available.
Depending on the operating system, it can be launched by a double-click or a simple java -jar installer.jar on a shell. The most common use is to distribute applications for the Java platform, but you can also use it for other kinds of projects.
The main benefit of IzPack is that it provides a clean and unique way of distributing a project to users using different operating systems.
A big care has been put in making IzPack as small as possible in order to reduce the weight of IzPack itself in the final installer archive. Also, IzPack has been designed around modularity and flexibility.
As a consequence, you are able to specify how your installer should be by selecting the panels that you want to show to the final user. Sometimes there are even several panels for the same usage so that you can pick the one that suits the best your needs.
If ever you dont find your way through the available panels, you can still develop your own ones with the nice and easy IzPack API. Theres even an embedded XML parser !
Main features:
- XML-based installer descriptors
- Uses the maximum Jar archives compression level
- Jakarta Ant integration
- Great flexibility and modularity, it is very easy to extend IzPack
- No native code is required, but you can extend IzPack with native code
- Shortcuts creation system
- Flexible and powerful user input panel
- Automatic uninstaller creation
- Easy localization with XML langpacks: 16 langpacks are provided by default
- Variable substitution system
- OS-specific scripts interaction
Enhancements:
- This is a normal maintenance release containing various bugfixes and translation updates.
- Vista/Java 6 compatibility has been enhanced.

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the two most widely-used Internet protocols.
It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without Xsupport, etc.
Main features:
- Can resume aborted downloads, using REST and RANGE
- Can use filename wild cards and recursively mirror directories
- NLS-based message files for many different languages
- Optionally converts absolute links in downloaded documents to relative, so that downloaded documents may link to each other locally
- Runs on most UNIX-like operating systems as well as Microsoft Windows
- Supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies
- Supports HTTP cookies
- Supports persistent HTTP connections
- Unattended / background operation
- Uses local file timestamps to determine whether documents need to be re-downloaded when mirroring
- GNU wget is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Enhancements:
- A buffer overrun in the NTLM code was fixed.

MillScript projetc is a full featured, yet easy to use language for the batch production of templated Web sites.
The language is a Java-based, early implementation of Spice: an experimental language developed by the OpenSpice group.
MillScript benefits from a carefully considered and consistent syntax that should be most beneficial to ocassional and cross-over programmers. Its features include multiple valued expressions, embedded XML tags, powerful for loops, a rich template system, lambda functions, closures, classes, and methods, regular expressions, and more.
Enhancements:
- Temporarily removed SVG support as the Apache License is not compatible with the GPL. As soon as I find a GPL compatible alternative Ill reinstate this functionality
- Implemented Serializable for all classes are based on MillScript-Util functionality
- Fixed an issue with embedded XML which caused an exception when an attribute value was not a string
- Fixed an off by one error in the subrange function(used by the subrange syntax [X..Y])
- Updated to use new AlertReporter interface from MillScript-Alert
- Removed the Excel file loader, this can now be found in the MillScript-Excel package, which uses the new plugin system to add the loader into an installation.
- Added a simple plugin infrastructure, which scans for plugin configuration files on startup.
- Fixed the HTML renderers emtpy element tag set to match the HTML specification, i.e. an IFRAME is no longer considered an empty element, but the non-standard BGSOUND, SPACER and WBR tags are.
- Added XML namespace support to MillScript, via XML files in an inventory, but not within the MillScript language(which will come later)
- Added support for fat strings, i.e. strings that can span multiple lines. Fat strings are intended to bridge the gap between single line strings and autoloadable text files, i.e. medium length strings.
- Added support for chained relational expressions, e.g. x < y < z, where each expression is evaluated once and only if required.
- Added support for loading Excel spreadsheets. This is strictly limited to spreadsheets with text, numbers and very simple formulas(e.g. simple arithmetic and no floating point). Upgrades to this support are planned :-)
- Ensure methods report their name, rather than pretending to be anonymous.
- Added a properties file renderer and function, so you can now easily write Java properties files.
- Migrating to Java 5 - added generics type information, annotated for overrides and suppressing warnings and added enumerations
- Simplified name resolution code.
- Migrated Map(and List, etc) functionality from the Java Collections API to the new MillScript-Util one. This unifies Lists and Maps at the Java level, rather than the MillScript one.
- Fixed the bug stopping you from updating an list when indexing with negative indicies.
- Migrated all internal use of XML to MillScripts own custom XML parser and API, rather than the previous SAX and DOM based ones. This has included using the new parsers Name and Attribute(s) interfaces and implementations where appropriate.
- Migrated the template loaders to use the SAX API rather than transforming a DOM object.
- Added te-common library for command line argument parsing. Added a Java implementation of the website and status commands. More will follow.
- Added serialVersionUIDs to serializable classes, to enable version handling when serializing.
- Added a TrueType font loader, so you can now put TrueType fonts in your inventory and load them. When we have a graphics API youll be able to use these to draw onto images.

Freedroid RPG project is an extension/modification of the classical Freedroid engine into an RPG. The main differences to the classical version are as follows:
- The Tux is the main character of the rpg.
- The game uses isometric viewpoint and animated pre-rendered 3d character models for all characters inside the game.
- Dialogs and chatting with friendly droids and humans: Multiple-choice menus and voice samples (with subtitles for those without sound).
- There is an item and inventory system that is modeled after some popular standards of the industry
- An automap feature was added. (this is currently a bit unmaintained since part of the code needs to be re-written for proper OpenGL support in the automap display)
- Saving and loading of games.
- Shops to trade things and skills to learn.
- Controls are different: Mouse is the input method of choice.
- This is a graphically intense game. Therefore the archive size is comparably *huge* and not suitable for modem downloads with a dialup connection.
Enhancements:
- This version, mostly unchanged from -rc4, focuses on making the development for the game easier, exports some hardcoded data into files, makes the map editor a bit more usable, and has other major and minor tweaks.
