Free java to native software for linux

Lightweight Java Game Library project is a native binding to OpenGL and OpenAL.
The Lightweight Java Game Library is a native binding for OpenGL and OpenAL written with game developers in mind.
It allows the full OpenGL and OpenAL APIs to be exposed without the penalties associated with competing methods, nor the limitations of APIs such as Java3D.
Tutorials and demos are available, and Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X are supported.
Main features:
- Speed
- Simplicity
- Ubiquity
- Smallness
- Security
- Robustness
- Minimalism
Enhancements:
- Dont allow switching to fullscreen when a custom display mode is in effect. This is a change from before, where the current mode was simply overwritten with the initial (desktop) mode

Java Classic RPG is an RPG framework, engine, and game that uses OpenGL, a challenging AI, huge territories, and classic pen-and-paper turn-based combat. This project is in the tradition of games like Wizardry 7 and EOB, but incorporates innovations made possible by modern computing technology.
The framework and engine feature a self-containing, playable, algorithmically-generated world, and can be the base for new games.
Enhancements:
- The 3D core was refactored, a new jungle design (along with partly billboarded trees and bushes) was added, and several optimizations and bugfixes have been included.

Java Parallel Processing Framework is a set of tools and APIs to facilitate the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes.
Java Parallel Processing Framework is intended to run in clusters and grids.
Main features:
- an API to delegate the processing of parallelized tasks to local and remote execution services
- a set of APIs and user interface tools to administrate and monitor execution services
- real-time adaptive load balancing capabilities
- scalability up to an arbitrary number of processing nodes
- support for failover and recovery
- limited intrusiveness for existing or legacy code
- a dynamic deployment mechanism, that enables the execution of new, or updated, code without having to deploy onto the grid
- fully documented APIs, administration guide and developer guide
- runs on any platform supporting Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE 1.5)
Enhancements:
- JPPF is now licensed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. Starting from JPPF 1.0 beta1, all releases will be licensed under these terms.
- Prior versions will remain under the terms of the LGPL.
- For the first time, JPPF integrates seamlessly with J2EE. The JPPF Resource Adapter provides J2EE application servers with an access to native grid services.
- Numerous bug fixes, especially with regards to the distributed class loading mechanism.

tracx project reads and stores any kind of XML data using a dedicated programming language. Read XML structure can be traced and changed.

Unix Shell and JDBC database escapes allows you to retrieve data and store it into the XML structure. Implementations based on C++ and Java are available.

Java Tools is a lightweight integrated development environment for creating, compiling, and executing Java applications and applets.
Java Tools includes point and click access to the Java files, commands, and documents. It also includes a built-in text editor and user interface for the Java debugger.
It is intended for the new Java user who needs help getting started. Its also for the more experienced Java user who wants easy access to the Java commands and a text editor.
Main features:
- GUI with built-in help and small footprint.
- Point and click access to all files (Java, manifest, HTML, image and sound) and directories (package).
- Point and click access to all commands for compiling (javac), archiving (jar), documenting (javadoc), executing (java), debugging (jdb) and disassembling (javap).
- Point and click access to all documents (Java API Specification, Java Tools and Utilities, Java Features and Java Tutorial).
- Point and click creation of all files (Java, manifest and HTML) and directories (package).
- Point and click installation of distribution archive files (Java document, Java source code, Java Tutorial and Sun Tools).
- Automatic determination of class file dependencies for archiving (jar) and documenting (javadoc) Java files.
- Checking for unused, redundant and missing imports.
- Logging of all commands invoked by GUI.
- Code metrics for Java files.
- Built-in text editor (see Edit for details).
- Built-in user interface for the Java debugger with command-line editing and history.
- Self-installing executable (Java archive file).
- Comprehensive installation and user documentation for Java and Java Tools.

dotnetfromjava is a Java software API to provide access to the .NET APIs without writing native code.

From the Java developers point of view, the main Java object that makes .NET API calls is NetObject. From the .NET developers point of view, NetObject is the RuntimeType of a .NET (Object) Instance.

NetObject is the root object of the dotnetfromjava library and can invoke (nearly) any member via reflection of (nearly) any .NET Object.
