Java::Import::Design is the design of the Java::Import Module.

MOTIVATIONS

The original motivation for writing this module came out of a project I was working on during my previous employment. We had built a system in which a major part was implimented using EJBs on a J2EE server. In addition, we had a large component of the system, that already existed, and was written in Perl. We did not want to scrap our Perl work but it was becoming more tedious to maintain two implimentations as more and more things were being added to the system.

So, we decided that the major pieces of business logic would reside on the J2EE server and the Perl would be modified to make calls to the server. After some time and experimentation we began to realize that the memory footprint as well as the amount of time needed to make calls to the server using existing Perl to Java integration sulutions were just not acceptable. We therefore set out to find some other way. We tried all sorts of things but in the end we couldnt find anything that met our requirements and therefore decided to keep the origional system of doing things.

While at that job we never did find a suitable way to integrate our two systems. However, the problem still haunted me. It wasnt until the end of my career at that company that I saw an announcement for Googles first Summer of Code. It just so happened that as Google was announcing their brand new program that I had begun to play with the GNU GCJ suite of Java tools and came up with the idea of taking advantage of their ability to natively compile Java code for use with Perl. This may not have been a new idea but I couldnt find anything that would help me so I decided to write and submit a proposal to Google. Well, I was accepted and you now have Java::Import.

When I began to work on this project I started by creating my own namespace instead of stepping on the toes of the other existing Java/Perl integration project, Inline::Java. I did this primarily because I wanted a clean slate on which I could fully explore the nuances of GCJ, in particular its CNI interface. As I worked my module started to evolve into its own beast and at that point it seemed locigal to keep my own namespace. It is not my intention to replace Inline::Java and I still think that in te future much of the work I have done can be used by Inline::Java as an option to use GCJ specific functionality.

Archimedes is an Open CAD for architects.

Archimedes is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program developed side by side with architecture offices in order to fulfill all their needs.

This way, we hope to develop software better suited for architects than the currently widely used AutoCAD.

LibPHPBase is a class-library with various tools for creating websites, the most important and useful parts are:

HTML Abstraction

A set of classes representing HTML-tags making OO-based site design easy. The generated code strives to be clean and to follow w3c-recommendation.

Session/Authentication handling

A small and easy authentication/session-handling solution

Javadoc-like documentation generator

Bowzilla is a mini Game for 2 players. Leaned against the old QBasic Gorilla, you must fire at your opponent in real-time.

Particularly the realistic blood is to be considered with the lightning strike. You have to find a whole in the target range. However, you should not expect to much from it.

The system can be used in the electronic world to keep track of your: Schematic, Printed Circuit Board, Front Plate, Programmable Logic Device numbers.
EDA index is programmed in PHP (and XHTML 1.0), using a MySQL database to store data, so its more or less OS independent, but a Linux server is recommended, since it already got most software installed as default, this configuration is also called LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)
Its also recommended that a local intranet server is used, since the system dont got a user login, so all data can be viewed without a password, but when you need to add or edit data a password is required. At first this approach might seem wierd, but its designed to allow quick lookups. Example:
You are sitting with a broken pcb with a number on it, and need to find the schematic (so you can repair it) on the computer or in the printed project (schematic) archive. EDA Index allow an quick lookup in the database, without you needing to login, so you get the job done faster.
As far as I know, there are no commercial (or free) program available that can do what EDA Index can, some companies may have created their own software, but how do that help you.
I have worked in an electronic department that had a self made application, but it lagged features like search.
This program is very usefull, if you are using numbers when:
Drawing electronic Schematics and PCBs using a CAD program like: Eagle, gEDA, Protel, Orcad, etc.
Creating Front Plate layouts in: GIMP, Coral Draw, Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc.
Programming Programmable Logic Devices like: PLD, EPLD, CPLD, PIC, APIC, PEEL, PAL, GAL, FPGA, Intel 80XX, Motorola 68XX, etc. Writing the code in: VHDL, Assambler, JEDEC, etc.
Enhancements:
- Included the bugfix to RC2.
- Updated online documentation.
- Updated INSTALL file.

Aiee! project is a text adventure engine.

Aiee! is a simple, easy-to-use text adventure ("interactive fiction" or "Infocom game") engine that uses XML-based adventure files.

Aiee! allows you to design and play text adventures, or "interactive fiction". Aiee! adventures are written in a simple XML-based format, without the need for any programming experience. Aiee! adventures can even include illustrations and sound.

The Eagle EDA software is composed of tightly integrated modules for PCB design, including Schematic Capture, Board Layout, and Autorouter.
Eagle has a free full-function (only board size limited) non-commercial license available for hobby and educational use as well. Windows, DOS, and of course, Linux versions are available.
Enhancements:
- The latest version 4.16 fixes some problems.

Objective Modula-2 programming language is a hybrid between Smalltalk and Modula-2 based on the object model and runtime of Objective-C.

The design is an example how native Cocoa/GNUstep support can be added to static imperative programming languages without implementing a bridge.

The projects scope encompasses the design of the Objective Modula-2 programming language and the implementation of a compiler to implement it. The initial compiler will generate Objective-C source code.
