SNAPPIX 0.9 is a "live CD" Linux distribution based on KNOPPIX 3.8. Its distinguishing feature from KNOPPIX, is that it is focused on open source development tools, specifically open source Java implementations and development tools.

SNAPPIX 0.9 showcases the open source components in SNAP Platform 0.9, which feature the SableVM open source Java VM, GNU Classpath library, and Jikes compiler, the Apache Ant build tool, the Jython scripting language, plus the Eclipse universal tool platform, and the Tomcat servlet and JSP container.

SNAPPIX 0.9 contains Mono 1.1.6, MonoDevelop 0.7.0.0, MonoDoc 1.0.6-3, and XSP 1.0.5.0. MonoDevelop features full syntax-highlighting and debugging integration of C# applications for the Mono environment.

SNAPPIX 0.9 also contains GCC, Python, Perl, PHP, and Ruby with full syntax-highlighting and debugging integration in KDevelop. PHP, Python, and Ruby editing and syntax-highlighting are also enabled in Eclipse with plugins such as TruStudio and RubyEclipse.

Main features:
- Parallel editing of all language versions (side by side)
- Warnings, when no text has been provided for a specific key
- Warnings, when the text for one key is identical for different languages
- Warnings, when the text for all languages of two different keys is identical
- Locate unused strings
- Locate strings that are referenced, but not actually defined in the resource bundle
- Search function for the resource bundle
- Simple adding of new languages to a resource bundle
JInto is published under the Eclipse Public License (the same licence as Eclipse itself).
Enhancements:
- A bug in the resource bundle search was fixed.

Tao Linux (pronounced dow Linux) is a project to build a free Linux distribution from the sources used in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line.
The target market is either experienced system administrators who would like freely available binaries of this code, or end users who are interested in experimenting with enterprise functionality.
Besides being mostly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, it also includes software packages such as Eclipse and clustering tools not found in the base RHEL products.
Main features:
- Includes gcj-compiled Eclipse IDE
- Includes clustering tools
- Yum with protectbase patch for safer use of 3rd-party repos
- Supports ACLs in ext3, nfs and Samba
- Many packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux also run on Tao Linux
- Free as in speech and beer
- Security updates (in SRPM form, at least) available into 2008

Custom Eclipse Builder is a lightweight Ant-based project to build a company and personal customized Eclipse distribution including company and personal relevant plugins, preferences and settings.
The modern software development process becomes more and more distributed characted. Now, a usual project is not a one-men work more, but a collective work of bunch of people communicating through network. Therefore, its very important that each involved developer stands to the rules and guidelines applied for the project.
There are many tools that makes the development process easy. One of these tools that increases in popularity more and more is Eclipse. The number of companies, organizations or project teams using Eclipse grows permanently. Typically, in such a company a developer takes itself care of downloading and configuring Eclipse and all kinds of Plugins.
Therefore, the more developers using Eclipse within of organization the more different versions, configurations and settings do exist. When a group of developers is working for a project and sharing the projects resources (and this is the typical case) using of different tools and versions may lead to any kinds of conflicts (unfortunately this is the typical case too).
The Custom Eclipse Builder is a very easy way to solve all these problems. After you have installed and configured Builder you can build your own Eclipse distribution each time you wish (e.g. by scheduling a cron job) in just a few minutes. The Builder will download all desired Eclipse- and plugins distributions full automatically.
There is no need to check a new plugins version you wish to include in the distribution is realised. The Custom Eclipse Builder takes care of plugins version management. Once installed and configured you can use Builder over a couple of months without any modifications.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes some minor bugs and supports building distributions based on Eclipse 3.2M1, 3.2M2, and 3.2M3.

JGlade is a reimplementation of libglade in pure Java that enables Glade UI designs to be ported to platform independent toolkits, like SWT and Eclipse.

Toolkits are managed through an Abstract factory, and pluggable modules supporting other toolkits can be implemented.

Glade UI designer produces an XML file describing the interface in GTK+ terms, this file is parsed by JGlade and a new SWT interface is constructed making the necessary conversion from GTK+ to SWT or other toolkit.

Pieces of Flare is an Eclipse Plugin which allows (J2EE) developers to synchronize source directories within their project to deployment directories on the AppServer.
Pieces of Flare plugin is written to allow automatic deployment of JSP files whenever they are saved, but it can be used for any file type.
Pieces of Flare only runs on files that are saved. With a custom ant builder you inflict the startup cost of ant within Eclipse, and Pieces of Flare knows what the changed deltas are - which a custom ant builder might not.
We were looking for a name that had something to do with Eclipse, and Flare came to mind. We were also talking about Office Space that day so it seemed like a decent choice.
Currently, the number one need is to develop some UI to do the XML configuration. If you would like to help out with that, contact one of the developers in the forums.
Enhancements:
- This version adds support for the scp file copy protocol for copying files to remotely located hosts.
- Also, there are improvements to the logging.
- It seemed that some people had trouble typing the fromDir and toDir paths.
- A simple check to see if these paths exist has been added.
- Hopefully this will make it easier to debug a configuration.
- Also, the debug attribute can be set to false to suppress info level logging once everything is working.
