Qorus Integration Engine is a framework for the development and operation of reliable interfaces.

Qorus is a workflow and service platform based on the Qore programming language; objects taking code attributes are defined in the Qore language, using Qore and Qorus API calls to interface with other applications and perform work in a framework that checkpoints each step and guarantees reliability (as long as simple design criteria are met).

With Qorus its easy to interface with Oracle and MySQL databases, communicate using TIBCO messaging or a variety of standard Web service protocols (with and without encryption), and more in a traceable and reliable way. The evaluation license is limited to 6 months of use.

AMPC is a C Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that generates Java Bytecode.
The resulting executables will be able to run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM). AMPC enables programmers to develop applications using the C language to run on JVM-enabled devices such as the PDAs, smart-phones, game consoles, set-top boxes, automotive systems (GPS based displays, On Star, Satellite radio systems, etc), and so forth, (with a single source base to manage), hence, opening up new revenue streams for your business.
Axiomatic Multi-Platform C could also be used to turn legacy applications written in C to run on the JVM, thus, opening up a whole new market dimension for your existing software products.
While students will be able to learn C which is a real-world programming language targeting the platform independent JVM.
Main features:
- Axiomatic C Compiler
- ANSI C Library
- Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
- Jasmin Assembler
- Project Navigator
- Source Code Editor
- Activities Logger
Version restrictions:
- Expires after 15 days.

Excelsior JET suite is a complete solution for protection, acceleration and deployment of your Java applications.
Excelsior JET Optimizer converts your applications classes and jars into highly optimized Intel x86 code and creates a native executable for Microsoft Windows or Linux platform.
Excelsior JET Runtime is a complete Java Virtual Machine that works with both Java classes and the executables produced by the Optimizer. It implements the Java SE platform, versions 5.0 and 1.4.2.
Excelsior JET Installation Toolkit facilitates rapid creation of complete installation packages for your optimized Java applications. Installation of the JRE on end-user machines is not required.
Excelsior JET Optimizer and Runtime have passed the Java Compatibility Kit test suite and are certified Java Compatible on a number of platforms.
Main features:
- Transform your Java applications classes and jars into conventional binary executables (EXEs and DLLs on Windows, executables and shared objects on Linux) that run without the Sun JRE
- Optimize applications that use any part of J2SE 5.0 or 1.4.2 platform API YESYES
- Optimize applications that rely on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
- Intergrate the resulting executables with C/C++/Deplhi via JNI and Invocation API
- Intergrate the resulting executables with C++/VB6/VBA via COM (Windows only)
- Optimize applications essentially relying on dynamic class loading
- Optimize JIT compilers cache with the AOT compiler
- Reorder code and data segments of the resulting executables for faster startup and memory use reduction
- Turn your Java applications into Windows services using the supplied API and tools
- Pack resources (images, audio, etc.) into the resulting executables
- Create application setups based on Excelsior Installer (Windows only) or a third-party setup authoring tool
- Create compact Excelsior Installer-based setups (Windows only)
- Make applications display a native splash screen instantly upon startup
- NEW! Generate trial executables
- NEW! Create arbitrary shortcuts with custom icons in Excelsior Installer-based setups (Windows only)

Rainlendar project is a customizable desktop calendar.
Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesnt take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it both on Windows and on Linux. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.
It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar*.
Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.
All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the weeks events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.
You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure youll remember to do them on time.
Youll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you dont miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.
And thats not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.
