Free for java software for linux

The Ogg for Java library is a (from scratch) Java implementation of the Ogg protocol, compatible with Java 1.1 or higher.

The Ogg protocol itself is a media stream container, which can hold any type of media (for example a video stream format, audio stream format). It is also capable of multiplexing these streams (it can hold both an audio and video stream at the same time, making it possible to play back audio and video simultaniously), and also to chain (concatenate) streams. A main advantage is, that it is freely available (as a protocol), and to this date it is also patent-free.

NetMinds implementation follows the idea of free software, and is licensed under the LGPL, which basically means, You can use the software, incorporate it in commercial software unmodified. Or you can modify it and use parts of it as long as You release it back to the world under the same license.

Please note, that the Ogg protocol itself is NOT an audio or video codec, so it cannot compress video or audio data, it is only a container. If you are searching for the latter, you might want to visit Xiph.org which hosts/sponsors/advertises many open mulimedia related projects, such as Theora (an open video codec), or Vorbis (an open audio codec).

The aim of this project is to produce an easy-to-use interface to the Ogg protocol in the Java language, hiding as much internal mechanisms as possible, preserving all features on the interface. This may or may not be the philosophy you are searching for. If not, you may want to check out JOrbis which is also an implementation of the Ogg protocol (and more).

OpenGL for Java, formerly known as GL4Java, supports Java with a native OpenGL mapping.
The OS native OpenGL functionality is avaiable from Java for many OS: Linux/GNU+XFree86, Unix/X11, MacOS, Win32.
Enhancements:
- removed the hack (which I put in sometime ago to get VooDoo3 working) that forced gl4java to choose a double buffered pixel format (the demos that used single buffer did not work) (thanks JYB)
- fixed the tessdemo and tesswind applets (thanks JYB).

MikMod for Java is a Java port of the MOD player MikMod. It supports MOD, S3M, XM, MTM, and many other MOD formats.

The make file "source/Makefile" is intended for GNU make, so if its present you can just type make to build everything. The default java compiler name is javac, and if it isnt youll need to modify the makefile a bit.

Building the audio-driver is not trivial on a machine which isnt Linux. The makefile and and source files under the sub-directory source/dll can generate it on a Linux, but they need to be modified, and possibly re-generated by "javah" so theyll compile on another
platform. You can use the drivers in the MikMod for UNIX package to develop the native driver for your platform.

Both programs should be run from a command shell (they are Java applications that make use of the command line arguments). To invoke Java MikMod type:

java MikModApp [standard mikmod arguments]
and for Java mikcvt:
java MikCvtApp [file path]

Everything should work much like the C programs except that:

1. Output is not fully compatible.

2. Input is not available. (press Ctrl-C to abort the program).

3. It could be much slower.

Xgrid Agent for Java is an agent for Apples Xgrid clustering protocol written entirely in Java. This makes multiple platform Xgrid clusters possible.
Usage:
usage: java -jar xgridagent.jar -r|host name mhz
-r will resolve the controller via bonjour
host is the address or hostname on the controller
name is the name of this agent
mhz is the CPU power of one CPU in this agent
run the program from within the xgridagent directory
Enhancements:
- Many changes (may break things).

Ganymed SSH2 for Java is a library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java (tested on J2SE 1.4.2 and 5.0).
Ganymed SSH2 for Java allows one to connect to SSH servers from within Java programs. It supports SSH sessions (remote command execution and shell access), local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding, X11 forwarding and SCP.
There are no dependencies on any JCE provider, as all crypto functionality is included.
Ganymed SSH2 for Java is used in the Ganymed replication project and a couple of other projects here at the IKS group.
Main features:
- 100% Java implementation of the SSH-2 protocol (tested on J2SE 1.4.2 and 5.0)
- No dependency on any JCE provider, all crypto functionality is included in the Ganymed SSH2 for Java library.
- Supports SSH sessions (remote command execution and shell access), X11 forwarding, local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding and SCP.
- Thread safe, multiple threads can concurrently execute commands, open shells etc. on the same SSH connection.
- Available ciphers: aes256-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes128-ctr, blowfish-ctr, aes256-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes128-cbc, blowfish-cbc, 3des-ctr and 3des-cbc.
- Supports DSA and RSA server keys (ssh-dss and ssh-rsa). Extensive support for known_hosts file handling.
- Key exchange methods: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 (parameters configurable), diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 and diffie-hellman-group1-sha1.
- Supported MAC algorithms: hmac-sha1-96, hmac-sha1, hmac-md5-96 and hmac-md5.
- User authentication: password, keyboard-interactive and public-key with DSA and RSA keys (client-side private keys (PEM format) may also be 3DES, DES or AES encrypted).
Enhancements:
- This release has support for SFTP v3, HTTP proxies, connection monitoring, improved port forwarding, better compatibility for the Diffie-Hellman group exchange, and enhancements in the SCP code.

Simple persistence for Java is an object/relation mapping framework for Java. It is designed to be easy to use.
There are no XML files to write, no tables to create, no IDs to generate, and no primary keys to fiddle with; just point it to the database, check the API documentation for three basic methods, and code away.
Simple persistence for Java supports transactions, has its own simple query language (very similar to SQL), and can handle object references, lists, and maps.
You may ask: Why another O/R mapping library? Well.. Ive searched the net for a suitable O/R tool for a long time now, also tried a few in live projects, but each time, at the end of the project, I had always had a few thoughts to simplify the database interaction code. Ive started with EJB around 2000. Now, I think everyone who used EJBs also at least once wondered why saveing a friggin object requires a separate server installation, the extensive knowledge of a 200+ page documentation, generating 3 classes/interfaces per object, installing stubs, rmi, and other things I dont even want to know about. Lets just skip this chapter of my life directly to my last experience with an O/R library: pbeans. This library is generally good, I can recommend it for those, who want a stable O/R mapping tool, but it was not the one for me. I found a few points I couldnt get over:
- Save and insert should be one method. I usually dont care if an object is inserted or saved phisically, as long as its saved.
- It should handle Lists and Maps. Well, "Lists should be enough for everybody", but sometimes Maps are handy too. Lists are used very often, I think it should be handled automatically.
- The query code is too difficult, and at the same time does not offer enough features.
- The code you have to write wont be "pretty". It requires classes to be parameters, at least for queries, and I cant read the query itself.
- The Id handling is not transparent.
Enhancements:
- A major scalability feature has been added: the library is now capable of working in a distributed environment, such as load-balanced Web server clusters.
- All the library nodes connected to the same database will form a self-regulating, self-organizing, failure-tolerant network to manage exclusive resources (such as locks, etc).
- The documentation and site were updated accordingly.
