Free thin layer software for linux

JDBC Driver for SQLite is a thin layer on top of the SQLite 3.3.x C API. The native JNI library has SQLite compiled into it so all you need to do is include the two files packaged above in your project.
Usage:
Download the binary for the platform you are developing on. Open the tarball and copy the two files into your application directory:
sqlitejdbc.jar
[lib]sqlitejdbc.[dll, so, jnilib]
Reference the driver in your code:
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:filename");
// ... use the database ...
conn.close();
And call your program with the drivers JAR file in the classpath and the C library in the librarypath. E.g.
java -cp lib/yourprog.jar:lib/sqlitejdbc.jar
-Djava.library.path=lib
yourprog.Main
Enhancements:
- The driver is now thread-safe and fully supports UTF-16.
- There are binaries for Mac OS, Linux, and Windows, and instructions for compiling with MSVC.

Velosurf is a thin but efficient database mapping layer meant to be used with Jakarta Velocity.
Velosurfs goal is to generate a set of context variables that automatically map database tables and relationships without the need for any recompilation.
Enhancements:
- This is a corrective release that fixes a serious issue in $entity.insert along with a few minor bugs.
- It has some source refactoring and some new test cases.

Thin SFTP Applet is a full featured Secure File Transfer Program. Thin SFTP Applet can be use for secure file transfer and management and can be easily integrated into your website or web application.
You can use our SFTP applet to carry out recursive folder uploads and downloads, with entire directory trees being transfered in a single click.
Interrupted transfers can be resumed. Unlike the FTP protocol, with SFTP all data and commands are encrypted for maximum security.
In spite of being a web client, its appearence is no different from a traditional 2-Table File Transfer Program for desktops.
Because the client is an applet it does not need to refresh itself each time a file transfer or any other operation takes place. The result is that the user experience is no different from using a desktop client.
Enhancements:
- A minor bug related to connection pooling and reuse was fixed.

The layer extract plug-in is a Gimp plug-in that creates a new image/film by periodically extracting layers from another image.

It takes one interval (number of sequent layers) every period. The number of periods can be limited.

"< Image >/Filters/Animation/Layer Extract"

GIMP# is an API wrapper around GIMP, written in C#. However, its not just a wrapper. GIMP# project also adds a thin layer which adds C# specific features, like iterating through a collection. An example of this is an iteration through the guides of an image. In C# this looks like:

foreach (Guide guide in image.Guides)
{
// Do something
}

In C this would have been:

gint32 guide_ID = 0:
while ((guide_ID = gimp_image_find_next_guide(image_ID, guide_ID)) != 0)
{
// Do something
}

GIMP# also offers a base plug-in class which does the difficult stuff for you. Implementing a new plug-in is just a matter of overriding a few virtual methods. See the samples directory for examples of how to do this.

Gimp# fills the niche between scripting languages (easy to write, slow) and C (harder to write, fast). If you need a quick and dirty plug-in where speed doesnt matter that much, write it in any of the scripting languages that come with GIMP (Scheme, Perl, etc.). Scripting languages are very well fitted for calling existing functionality, shortening manual tasks.

You probably dont want pixel manipulation in Scheme. In C, on the other hand, it takes a lot more time to create a plug-in for several reasons: building the GUI is time consuming. Secondly, pixel handling is not completely trivial. You have to know how to traverse through the tiles of an image, etc. Typically the actual algorithm is only a very small (5 - 20 %) part of the total code. Gimp# is not as fast as C, but much faster than a scripting language. Building a decent GUI is much easier than in C.

PloneTestCase is a project developed to simplify testing of Plone and Plone-based applications and products.
PloneTestCase is a thin layer on top of the ZopeTestCase package.
The PloneTestCase package provides:
- The function installProduct to install a Zope product into the test environment.
- The function setupPloneSite to create a Plone portal in the test db. Note: setupPloneSite accepts an optional products argument, which allows you to specify a list of products that will be added to the portal using the quickinstaller tool. Since 0.8.2 you can also pass an extension_profiles argument to import GS extension profiles.
- The class PloneTestCase of which to derive your test cases.
- The class FunctionalTestCase of which to derive your test cases for functional unit testing.
- The classes Sandboxed and Functional to mix-in with your own test cases.
- The constants portal_name, portal_owner, default_policy, default_products, default_base_profile, default_extension_profiles, default_user, and default_password.
- The constant PLONE21 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.1.
- The constant PLONE25 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.5.
- The constant PLONE30 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.0.
- The module utils which contains all utility functions from the ZopeTestCase package.

Thin FTP Upload project is an FTP upload applet designed for integration with Web applications.
Do you want to quickly add FTP file upload functionality to your website? Then Thin FTP Applet, a product that can be installed in less than 2 minutes is the product to choose.
To send files using the File Transfer Protocol, all your users have to do is to drag and drop them onto the designated area of the browser. Entire directory tree and a virtually unlimited number of files totalling several giga bytes can be transfered in this manner.
If your server is configued to allow annoymous transfers your users dont even have to login. Else they can login interactively by entering their username and password. Or else you can make it easier for them by using a single predefined username and password for each user so that multiple accounts do not have to be created.
Whats New in 1.02 Stable Release:
- The new version of the applet aims for improved compatibility with a wider range of FTP servers, epecially those servers deployed on Windows.
- The new version includes a subtle change in the way that the applet handles the trailing slash in the URL.
Whats New in 2.0 Development Release:
- Interrupted FTP uploads can now be resumed.
- A new progress monitor has been added.
- The applet loading mechanism has been changed, and the applet can now be configured using HTML parameters.
