Free jar software for linux

Jar Ajar is a JAR-based self-extractor for zip files. Jar Ajar project can package zipped files with descriptive images and text using a graphical interface.
When recipients launch the resulting JAR, Jar Ajar guides users through the unzip process.
Jar Ajar is designed specifically for software deployment of Java-based applications. By taking advantage of the Java environment that would already be found on the users platform, Jar Ajar is very lightweight and offers a consistent look and feel.
Packaging. Features to help you package files for deployment:
- Welcome message: supports HTML and CSS-compliant text.
- Logo & License: allows you to include a customized logo and license.
- Zip: Jar Ajar zips up your files into a self-extracting .jar file.
- Documented: instructions are built right into the sidebar for quick access.
Self-Extraction. The self-extractor means that you can install your package on any computer that support Java. The general sequence of events during an installation include:
- Greetings from your welcome message.
- Required acceptance of your license.
- Browse for installation location.
- Install the files, with feedback on which files have been installed.
- Wrap-up, including a reminder of where the files have been installed to, and the option to open a readme and launch your program.
Enhancements:
- New features in this release include the ability to display a license during self-extraction and a readme afterward.
- Jar Ajar can now also launch programs after extraction.
- Hyperlinkable text displays are now supported.
- User interface improvements were made.

Autojar helps creating jar files of minimal size from different inputs like own classes, external archives etc.

Autojar library starts from one or more given classes (e.g., an applet), recursively searches the bytecode for references to other classes, extracts these classes from the input archives, and copies them to the output.

The resulting archive will only contain the classes you really need. Thus you can keep size and loading time of applets low or make applications independent of installed libraries.

In a similar way, autojar can search directories and archives for other resources (like image files), extract them and copy them to the output.

Note that autojar cant know for sure which classes will be loaded dynamically (by Class.forName()). However, starting from version 1.3, you can tell autojar to search the bytecode for invocations of Class.forName() and inform you correspondingly. In some cases autojar actually can find out which classes are to be loaded, and add them automatically to the output

JTail is an advanced Java/Swing implementation of the Unix tail utility. JTail includes an intuitive GUI interface that enables the user to define multiple data filters and alarms.
In addition, the user can suspend and resume the display of data from the monitored file. When suspended, the user can single step through the new data being written to the files being monitored.
JTail can be used to monitor both files on both local systems and via the Fishcroft RfaServer (see below) on remote systems.
Enhancements:
- The JTail jar file is now a self-executing jar file.
- The ability to spawn new root windows from the File menu has been added.
- When filters are defined but none are activated, all output will be displayed.
- Output may be displayed with line wrap toggled on or off.
- Minor code cleanup. rfa.jar sources are included in the source tree.
- utils.jar sources are included in the source tree.

Cleaner is a Java beautifier that transforms ugly syntax into beautiful syntax. The Java code syntax is parsed using ANTLR and then printed to standard output.

Source is included.

Something like this:

public void foo(String bar)
{
for(int x=0; x < 9; x++ )
{
System.out.println ("X = " + x);
}
}

Will become

public void foo( String bar ){
for ( int x = 0; x < 9; x++ ){
System.out.println( "X = " + x );
}
}

Compile:

$ ant

Run:

$ java -classpath cleaner.jar:lib/antlr.jar cleaner.Cleaner < some-file >

jAscom is a Wrapper around the JACOB (JAva-COM Bridge) libraries for an easy access to the ASCOM Platform 3.0 out of Java. The project provides the whole functionality (methods, properties) of the ASCOM Telescope API Version 2.

Minor bugfix release. Alpha2 now includes the Focuser-, and Dome API, too.

This means easy and fast coding of java-applications for all sorts of telescope-controlling problems you can imagine, using a widely accepted standard.

Installation instructions:

1. Download and install ASCOM Platform 3.0 Full Setup.

2. Download jacob.dll from http://danadler.com/jacob/ found in the JACOB binary distribution 1.7.

There is a newer version located in the FILE-Section at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jacob-project/ (jacob_jre142fix_bin.zip).

This version could also be found in http://home.textdesign.com/jeamy/jascom/jacob_dll.jar (use java -xf jacob_dll.jar jacob.dll to extract it).

Add jacob.dll to your Path.

3. Download the jAscom Distribution. Exctract it into a directory of your choice (jar -xf jascom.jar).

4. Compile the files, start your Telescope Driver and connect it to the Telescope or use the ASCOM Telescope simulator (preferred for testing).

Excecute com.jeamy.jascom.test.JAscomTest for some tests/examples.

(Alternative you can start the binary version of JAscomTest with java -jar jascom.jar)

5. Create your Application using jAscom. Examples are shown in com.jeamy.jascom.test.JAscomTest, com.jeamy.jascom.test.JAscomDomeTest and com.jeamy.jascom.test.JAscomFocuserTest.

podLoader allows you to load content from the Web or other desktop files onto your iPod. Later, for example while traveling, you can check out news from any RSS feed, the weather, or the contents of any file from your desktop.
This application uses the "Notes" feature on third-generation or later touch wheel iPods.
Usage:
In Brief:
- Run podLoadr by double-clicking on podloadr.jar after installing the JRE (or run java -jar podloadr.jar from a command prompt)
- Drag & drop files or links onto the "Files & Links" tab. Browsing or manually typing the file name also works.
- Check some news feeds, add weather zip codes and create a notes on their respective tabs.
- Click the run button (ensure that the iPod is connected and enabled in disk mode).
In Detail:
- In order to load a web page or news feed simply do the following:
- Ensure that your iPod is enabled for disk use. To do this in iTunes:
- Select your iPod under Devices in the Source list.
- Click the Summary tab.
- In the Options section of the Summary pane, click the "Enable disk use" checkbox.
- Note that if the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option is enabled, "Enable disk use" is always enabled or turned on.
- Connect your iPod to your computer as you usually do.
- Exit iTunes - just to be safe.
- Ensure that you have a recent version of the Java runtime (either JDK or JRE) from Sun.
- Run podLoadr by double clicking on podLoadr.jar. Alternatively you can open a command prompt and type java -jar podLoadr.jar
- Note that podLoadr.jar itself can be stored on the ipod and run directly from there. Keep podLoadr.jar and podLoadr.ini together.
- Populate the various tabs in podLoadr.
- Add your custom items to the "Files & Links" tab. This can be done in any of the following ways.
- Drag a file from your desktop or Explorer onto the list
- Drag a link from Internet Explorer or Firefox onto the list (by grabbing the icon in the address box)
- Type the full name of a file in the Name box and click on add
- Click on "Add/Browse" and navigate to the file you need and add it to the list.
- Check off the news feeds that you want from the categorized list.
- Enter the ZIP codes of the weather you want separated by commas.
- Double check the ipod tab to ensure that the drive letter is correct. Or if you have multiple iPods then you can change this setting. (If thats too confusing feel free to send the other iPod my way :-)
To view the note, disconnect your iPod, scroll the menu to Extras, and select Notes. Choose the name the file you created and press the Center button to display the content of the file. You can.t edit the file using iPod, but you can delete it or update it whenever your iPod is connected to your computer.
podLoader uses the "Notes" feature of the iPod to support downloading and offline viewing of online content. Such presentations can be used, for example, as directed lessons or self-paced electronic guided tours. Notes is available on iPod models beginning with third-generation iPod (dock connector) models with the touch wheel.

Fair DJ is an Mserv-compatible music server designed to play music in a room with several users sharing a set of speakers.

The users can rate songs, and Fair DJ selects songs using these ratings and a fairness algorithm to ensure that everybody is happy.

FairDJ is an extended version of Mserv, written in the Java programming language.

Installation:

Starting fairdj for the first time will create a settings file in your users home directory. FairDJ will print out a helpful location message specifying the path to this file. Since you most likely want to edit this file before starting Fair DJ for real, weve included a helpful install option which simply exits after creating the settings file.

Start FairDJ with the following command line:

java -jar fairdj.jar -install

FairDJ should exit after logging a message specifying where the settings file was written. To specify another location for this settings file, use the settings option:

java -jar fairdj.jar -settings < settings file >

Edit the settings file by hand, using your favourite XML/Text editor, to point to wherever you want to store your ratings, where your music is, and where your user database should be. The settings file is fairly well commented and should provide you with the information you need to configure your Fair DJ installation. The new user database will be empty, and only the default user and password, as specified in the settings file, will be valid.

To get help on the available options, use the help option:

java -jar fairdj.jar -help [< option >]

To connect to FairDJ, connect with a telnet client to the specified port (default 4444), for example:

telnet localhost 4444

Log in with your default user and password. To get help on the available commands in FairDJ, type "help" followed by enter in the telnet client.

Start by creating a superuser (master), and a user for yourself. They can be the same if you want to. Here is an example:

create myuser mypass MASTER
