The Jesktop project is a desktop system written in Java that can have GUI applications installed into it. It is semi-dependant upon NanoContainer which is a component framework at Codehaus. NanoContainer and Constructor Dependency Injection are going to change the way we think of Java based component computing.
Jesktop has been under construction since November 2000. Its team was founded by people building Williams Portable Java Environment (PJE) since early 2000.
- To have a fully functional Java desktop environment running on a fully functional Java operating system that is portable across a number of host operating systems, or if there is JDK support in a BIOS layer, without a host operating system.
- To have a single CD installation of Linux (or other Java capable OS) without its own applications, but with NanoContainer, Jesktop and many Java apps pre-configured.
- To see the Jesktop and NanoContainer used widely by Java enthusiasts and deployed on yet to be created Network appliances and palm sized devices (when palm sized devices support J2SE). Thats right, we see this running on small devices. The attraction to hardware manufactureres is obvious - a standard open source OS layer that can support multiple applications safely.
- To see thousands of GPL, MPL, SPL, Commercial etc. etc. apps runnable inside Jesktop. All will be hot installable, reinstallable and de-installable. No reboot/restart necessary. No questions asked.
Main features:
- Multiple GUI applications running inside the same virtual machine.
- Multiple server applications running inside the same virtual machine.
- Drag and drop between applications (to finish)
- Mime type associations for applications (to finish)
- Many built-in, bundled and ported applications.
- Plugable Window Managers.
- Hot installable applications. Hot deinstallable and reinstallable too.
- Externally skinable applications. Apps dont need their own skin logic.

Easysite consists of a program entirely written in PHP that allows you to create your web site fast and easy.
Easysite is a program entirely written in PHP that allows you to create your web site fast and easy. Once you create the content of your site, Easysite automatically builds your entire Web site using templates. The program looks for existing directory after directory, and creates an image for a sub-category.
Then it looks for existing html pages and prints it out on the navigation menu. Please see snapshot.jpg included in this distribution for details. In addition, Easysite logs all traffic generated by your pages into a mysql database, so that you dont need access the httpd log files anymore.
Enhancements:
- the french translation has been removed for ease of maintenance reason
- a complete gestion of skin was added
- a graphical installation procedure was added
- an online skin edition possibility was added
- the user can now choose what skin he wants to have
- several bugs fixed
- multi database support, now mysql, Informix, mSQL server, msql should be supported
- Links are now displayed in the head of the page to allow the user to go where he wants whatever the place he is in.
- phpmyadmin is included now with this distribution

XMLBeans project is a technology for accessing XML by binding it to Java types. XMLBeans provides several ways to get at the XML, including:
- Through XML schema that has been compiled to generate Java types that represent schema types. In this way, you can access instances of the schema through JavaBeans-style accessors after the fashion of "getFoo" and "setFoo".
- The XMLBeans API also allows you to reflect into the XML schema itself through an XML Schema Object model.
- A cursor model through which you can traverse the full XML infoset.
- Support for XML DOM.
Start off with your own stuff:
If you want to get right to it with your own XML schema and instance, follow these basic steps:
Install XMLBeans.
Compile your schema. Use scomp to compile the schema, generating and jarring Java types. For example, to create a employeeschema.jar from an employeesschema.xsd file:
scomp -out employeeschema.jar employeeschema.xsd
Write code. With the generated JAR on your classpath, write code to bind an XML instance to the Java types representing your schema. Heres an example that would use types generated from an employees schema:
File xmlFile = new File("c:employees.xml");
// Bind the instance to the generated XMLBeans types.
EmployeesDocument empDoc =
EmployeesDocument.Factory.parse(xmlFile);
// Get and print pieces of the XML instance.
Employees emps = empDoc.getEmployees();
Employee[] empArray = emps.getEmployeeArray();
for (int i = 0; i < empArray.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(empArray[i]);
}
Enhancements:
- Updated to the latest XMLSchema.xsd - January 25, 2006
- Updated XmlBeans to work with SaxonB-8.6.1 in place of SaxonB8.1
- XQuery external variable binding support

xremote is a tool for grabbing mouse and keyboard of another display.

It creates a form of remote control of other machines. All mouse- and keyboard-actions on the local machine are forwarded to the remote display.

Installation

xremote should be easy to compile and install if you are using the tar.gz. Just issue the following commands to configure, compile and install it:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

GalaXQL is an interactive SQL tutorial where the user can manipulate an OpenGL-rendered 3d galaxy using SQL.

gTipi project is a Gtk+/GtkPlot based software for physics / electronics laboratory work for GNU Linux platforms.
The first goal is to make a free (as in speech) replacement for Regressi, a commercial front-end for lab work with the Orphy GTS/GTI hardware, for Windows. Regressi has many features that students do not need in High schools.
gTipi will be simpler and provide, at least in his first versions, only the most important features.
At the moment, gTipi only supports the Orphy GTS hardware using liborphy, but supporting other hardwares should not be hard, provided I have the model to test and specifications to write acquisition functions (or existing libraries). Thats why gTipi should not depend on the acquisition hardware.
gTipi is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL license.
Main features:
- data acquisition on Orphy inputs and data plotting in real time (possibility to parameter time between two acquisitions, and total acquisition time)
- plot export in PostScript format
- data export in plain text
- plot printing
- precise data values visualization on each point
- experimental points fitting with a given model (non-linear least squares fitting)
- function plotting
