Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a projects build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.
Main features:
Model based builds
- Maven is able to build any number of projects into predefined output types such as a JAR, WAR, or distribution based on metadata about the project, without any need to do any scripting in most cases.
Coherent site of project information
- Using the same metadata as for the build process, Maven is able to generate a web site or PDF including any documentation you care to add, and adds to that standard reports about the state of development of the project. Examples of this information can be seen at the bottom of the left-hand navigation of this site under the "Project Information" and "Project Reports" submenus.
Release management and distribution publication
- Without much additional configuration, Maven will integrate with your source control system such as CVS and manage the release of a project based on a certain tag. It can also publish this to a distribution location for use by other projects. Maven is able to publish individual outputs such as a JAR, an archive including other dependencies and documentation, or as a source distribution.
Dependency management
- Maven encourages the use of a central repository of JARs and other dependencies. Maven comes with a mechanism that your projects clients can use to download any JARs required for building your project from a central JAR repository much like Perls CPAN. This allows users of Maven to reuse JARs across projects and encourages communication between projects to ensure backward compatibility issues are dealt with. We are collaborating with the folks at Ibiblio who have graciously allowed the central repository to live on their servers.
Gump integration
- Integration with Gump. For those who are not familiar with Gump it is a tool used at Apache to help projects maintain backward compatibility with their clients. If you have a Maven project descriptor then you can easily participate in nightly Gump builds that will help your project stay abreast of the impact your changes actually have in Java developer community. We are working on our own massive build tool but integration with Gump comes at no cost to Maven users.

Yasper (Yet Another Smart Pointer) is a sweet and simple single-header smart pointer for C++.

Why write another C++ smart pointer?

There are two high quality libraries that include smart pointers: Loki and Boost. Alexandrescus Loki SmartPtr is customizable to a fault. I find policy templates unspeakably ugly and dont need the extra options. Boosts shared_ptr is quite nice, but is too restrictive and introduces undesirable dependency on the massive Boost library. What I need is a small, simple smart pointer: yasper.

Philosophy

small (contained in single header)
simple (nothing fancy in the code, easy to understand)
maximum compatibility (drop in replacement for dumb pointers)

The last point can be dangerous, since yasper permits risky (yet useful) actions (such as assignment to raw pointers and manual release) disallowed by other implementations. Be careful, only use those features if you know what youre doing!

Transvn allows to maintain several or more separate patches to third-party source tree.
Transvn is primarily targeted at middle-scale and large-scale contributors to Open Source software projects.
Transvn allows:
- to easily maintain several (or many) non-trivial patches to third-party source tree
- to improve your communication with maintainer of that tree by making your changes more self-contained and reviewable
- to use all facilities of your version control system (currently only Subversion backend is implemented, but underlying idea could easily be ported to most modern version control systems)
Transvn is like Andrew Mortons patch-scripts, but explicitly bound to your version control system.
Enhancements:
- massive code refactoring
- transvn pull-start and transvn pull-next mostly implemented
- updated to work with Subversion up to 0.33
- clean up generated patches

SmartTagFix is a simple utility that fills in missing ID3 tags for all MP3s within a directory structure. It uses the file name, directory name, and a bit of "common sense" to guess the correct labels.

Most MP3 players depend on the id3 tag to categorise the song. However when you download music from the internet half the time the tag information is missing, or incomplete. On top of that the files are named in a variaty of different standards, for example:
Massive Attack-Mezzanine/02-Risingson.met
08 - Young Americans - Best of Bowie - David Bowie.mp3
King Afrika-La Bomba.mp3

There are many great MP3 organisers available, which can generate tag data from the file name, however they can only bulk update if your files are named consistantly. For the above case youd have to enter the tag data manually (and Im sure you can think of better ways to spend your free time!)

SmartTagFix uses both the wxWidgets and id3lib open source libraries. Firstly, you will need to download the wxWidgets souce http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.gz) and build and install it (you will need the GTK 1.2 development libraries and include files, read the installation instructions included with wxGTK for full details) Then you need to download and install id3lib (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/), (either build the source or (easier) download the RPM). Check where you installed id3lib.la (by doing $locate id3lib.la). If its not in /usr/local/lib then you will need to modify tagfix/src/makefile.am to point to the correct location
To build the program use:
./configure
make
su
make install
ldconfig
exit
