"
Brings transactions and persistence to managed beans, provides a simplified transaction API and hooks transaction propagation events to the CDI event bus."
The objective of Eclipse Scout is to substantially reduce the development time needed for SOA and Java-conforming business software. Scout includes: an application model, a reference implementation, proven development functions and a comprehensive tool: the Scout SDK.
SQL Workbench/J is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. It is written in Java and thus it should run on any operating system that provides a Java Runtime Environment.
It's main focus is on running SQL scripts (either interactively or as a batch) and export/import features. Graphical query building or more advanced DBA tasks are not the focus and are not planned
Current stable version: Build 110 (2011-02-13)

Jettison is a collection of Java APIs (like STaX and DOM) which read and write JSON. This allows nearly transparent enablement of JSON based web services in services frameworks like CXF or XML serialization frameworks like XStream.
There are currently two included conventions for mapping JSON to XML. The first, is BadgerFish which implements the full XML infoset in JSON using various techniques. The second, is called the "mapped" convention. It allows you to manually map XML namespaces to JSON element prefixes.
Jettison was developed for usage in XFire and CXF to enable JSON based services. Later it also found its place in Java object serialization with XStream

Eclipse Gemini Blueprint is the reference implementation for the OSGi Alliance Blueprint Service (chapter 121 of the OSGi 4.2 Compendium Specification).
Gemini Blueprint project makes it easy to build Java applications that run in an OSGi framework. By using Gemini Blueprint, applications benefit from using a better separation of modules, the ability to dynamically add, remove, and update modules in a running system, the ability to deploy multiple versions of a module simultaneously (and have clients automatically bind to the appropriate one), and a dynamic service model.
Gemini users may also be interested in Eclipse Virgo, an open source, completely modular, OSGi-based Java application server. Its documentation is considered a supplement to Gemini Blueprint as it explains in detail, how OSGi can be used in various development and production scenarios.
