jsgal

jsgal is a dynamic Web-based gallery. However, rather than generating the gallery pages on a server using scripts, it is implemented in Javascript and DHTML and generates the pages in the client's browser. No offline generation of the Web pages is required; only a list of images has to be maintained, which allows easy updating and extending of galleries. This allows you to host dynamic galleries on servers without scripting support, or on local filesystems (e.g. CD-ROMs).

RIB

RIB is a software package for creating WWW metadata repositories. Metadata, from RIB's perspective, is information that describes reusable objects, such as software. RIB allows the user to enter metadata into a Java applet, which then sends the information to an RIB server via HTTP. The information is then stored in an SQL database, where it is automatically made available in a fully functional Web site (catalog, search page, etc). Repositories that use similar data models can use the XML processing capabilities to share information via the Internet.

Swing XML Authoring Tool

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.
