The sample application WebTTY was written to illustrate the usage of the TestApe unit test framework when testing native Linux applications

The WebTTY package allows any Linux terminal processes to be controlled in a text area HTML element on a webpage. The output from the server process is collected on server side, and is send to a text area element. Keypresses in textarea are collected on client side and send to the server process. WebTTY uses AJAX/DHTML patterns to achieve in-page updates without refreshing the entire page.

The package was developed to illustrate unit testing with the TestApe framework. It turned out to be a very useful demo application.

The ZDT (Zhongwen Development Tool) : A program written to help users study Mandarin Chinese

The ZDT (Zhongwen Development Tool) is a program written to help users study Mandarin Chinese. Users can create their own word lists and quiz themselves using three different flashcard modes. There is also a dictionary that can be used to search through the built in CEDICT (and optional Adso) databases. Users can input Chinese characters and get the associated pinyin and English definitions through the Annotation function. This makes it convenient to read blocks of Chinese text. The program is built on top of the Eclipse RCP platform, which allows it to be extendable through its plugin architecture. It runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows platforms.

Helmi's Open Source RIA Platform permits client- and server-side engineers to work independently while communicating effectively through an object-oriented environment.

This powerful solution is composed of a 100% browser-based Client Framework, a Virtual Browser that enables cross-browser application operations, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and a J2EE-based AJAX Server Connect that simplifies transmitting data from server to client.

Underlying the platform is Helmi's Intelligent Model View Controller (IMVC). This advanced architecture provides the same component library to UI developers and server-side engineers, enabling them to speak the same language while working independently.

It also relieves UI developers of the need to be concerned with communications protocols or XML definitions—thus abbreviating development time.

In addition, IMVC allows server-side developers to change UI components without altering the business-logic side and to change parameters with J2EE code.

Mule : A light-weight messaging framework

Mule is a light-weight messaging framework. It is a highly distributable object broker that can seamlessly handle interactions with other applications using disparate technologies, transports and protocols.
The Mule framework provides a highly scalable environment in which you can deploy your business components. Mule manages all the interactions between components transparently whether they exist in the same VM or over the internet and regardless of the underlying transport used.

Mule was designed around the Enterprise Service Bus architecture, which stipulates that different components or applications communicate through a common messaging bus, usually implemented using Jms or some other messaging server.
Mule goes a lot further by abstracting Jms and any other transport technology away from the business objects used to receive messages from the bus.

Key Features

  • J2EE 1.4 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Messaging broker
  • Pluggable connectivity such as JMS (1.0.2b and 1.1), VM (embedded), JDBC, TCP, UDP, multicast, http, servlet, SMTP, POP3, file, XMPP.
  • JBI Integration.
  • Orchestration of services using WS-BPEL and Mule components and routers.
  • Support for asynchronous, synchronous and request-response event processing over any transport.
  • Web Services using XFire (STaX-based) Axis or Glue.
  • Flexible deployment [Topologies] including Client/Server, Peer-to-Peer, ESB and Enterprise Service Network.
  • Declarative and Programmatic transaction support including XA support.
  • End-to-End support for routing, transport and transformation of events.
  • Spring framework Integration. Can be used as the ESB container and Mule can be easily embedded into Spring applications.
  • Highly scalable enterprise server using the SEDA processing model.
  • REST API to provide technology agnostic and language neutral web based access to Mule Events
  • Powerful event routing based on patterns in the popular EIP book.
  • Dynamic, declarative, content-based and rule-based routing options.
  • Non-Intrusive approach. Any object can be managed by the ESB container.
  • Powerful Application Integration framework
  • Fully extensible development model

SwiXAT : A Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy development of GUI Java applications


SwiXAT is a Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy development of GUI Java applications. It implements a true MVC framework and uses XML to define the view (SwiXML is used as the XUL engine), BeanShell as a scripting language for the controller, and JXPath as the binding mechanism between the view and model. It provides a complete environment in which it is possible to almost write an entire Java Swing application without writing Java compiled code. The use of XPath makes it very simple to traverse the object tree of the application's business model.

VRaptor 2 : A Web-based MVC and IOC framework based on many frameworks and ideas (Seam, Stripes, Webwork, Hibernate Annotations, etc)


VRaptor 2 is a Web-based MVC and IOC framework based on many frameworks and ideas (Seam, Stripes, Webwork, Hibernate Annotations, etc). It makes full use of Java 5 Annotations. It favors convention over configuration, because configuration in XML/properties/annotations is always easy to make mistakes and repetitive (aka copy and paste in many places). This framework uses a more imperative approach, instead of having many XML files to configure lifecycle and other properties. Most of the settings go inside plain Java objects (POJO), so the team knows exactly what is going on and where.
