The Apache Software Foundation has resigned its seat on the Java SE/EE Executive Committee. Apache has served on the EC for the past 10 years, winning the JCP "Member of the Year" award 4 times, and recently was ratified for another term with support from 95% of the voting community. Further, the project communities of the ASF, home to Apache Tomcat, Ant, Xerces, Geronimo, Velocity and nearly a 100 mainstay java components have implemented countless JSRs and serve on and contribute to many of the JCPs technical expert groups. We'd like to provide some explanation to the community as to why we're taking this significant step.

JRockit is an alternative to the standard Sun/Oracle/OpenJDK JVM. It was developed by BEA, primarily to provide better performance for users of BEA's Websphere.

Weld is the reference implementation (RI) for JSR-299: Java Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform (CDI). CDI is the Java standard for dependency injection and contextual lifecycle management, led by Gavin King for Red Hat, Inc. and is a Java Community Process (JCP) specification that integrates cleanly with the Java EE platform. Any Java EE 6-compliant application server provides support for JSR-299 (even the web profile). Weld and the JSR-299 TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) are developed here at seamframework.org. Both are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Quartz is a full-featured, open source job scheduling service that can be integrated with, or used along side virtually any Java EE or Java SE application - from the smallest stand-alone application to the largest e-commerce system. Quartz can be used to create simple or complex schedules for executing tens, hundreds, or even tens-of-thousands of jobs; jobs whose tasks are defined as standard Java components that may execute virtually anything you may program them to do. The Quartz Scheduler includes many enterprise-class features, such as JTA transactions and clustering. Quartz is freely usable, licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Querydsl is a framework which enables the construction of type-safe SQL-like queries for multiple backends including JPA, JDO and SQL in Java. Instead of writing queries as inline strings or externalizing them into XML files they are constructed via a fluent API. Code completion in IDE (all properties, methods and operations can be expanded in your favorite Java IDE) Almost no syntactically invalid queries allowed (type-safe on all levels) Domain types and properties can be referenced safely (no Strings involved!) Adopts better to refactoring changes in domain types Incremental query definition is easier Querydsl is licensed under the LGPL 2.1 license.

Database Change Management You never develop code without version control, why do you develop your database without it? Liquibase is an open source (Apache 2.0 Licensed), database-independent library for tracking, managing and applying database changes. It is built on a simple premise: All database changes are stored in a human readable yet trackable form and checked into source control. Liquibase Supports: Extensibility Merging changes from multiple developers Code branches Multiple Databases Managing production data as well as various test datasets Cluster-safe database upgrades Automated updates or generation of SQL scripts that can be approved and applied by a DBA Update rollbacks Database "diff"s Generating starting change logs from existing database

csv (comma-separated values) parser library for Java. It was developed because all of current csv parsers I've come across don't have commercial-friendly licenses.

Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications Spring Security is one of the most mature and widely used Spring projects. Founded in 2003 and actively maintained by SpringSource since, today it is used to secure numerous demanding environments including government agencies, military applications and central banks. It is released under an Apache 2.0 license so you can confidently use it in your projects. Spring Security is also easy to learn, deploy and manage. Our dedicated security namespace provides directives for most common operations, allowing complete application security in just a few lines of XML. We also offer complete tooling integration in SpringSource Tool Suite, plus our Spring Roo rapid application development framework. The Spring Community Forum and SpringSource offer a variety of free and paid support services. Spring Security is also integrated with many other Spring technologies, including Spring Web Flow, Spring Web Services, SpringSource Enterprise, SpringSource Application Management Suite and SpringSource tc Server.

Lucene is an Open Source, mature and high-performance Java search engine. It is highly flexible, and scalable from hundreds to millions of documents. Luke is a handy development and diagnostic tool, which accesses already existing Lucene indexes and allows you to display and modify their content in several ways: * browse by document number, or by term * view documents / copy to clipboard * retrieve a ranked list of most frequent terms * execute a search, and browse the results * analyze search results * selectively delete documents from the index * reconstruct the original document fields, edit them and re-insert to the index * optimize indexes * and much more... Recent versions of Luke are also extensible through plugins and scripting. I started this project because I needed a tool like this. I decided to distribute it under Open Source license to express my gratitude to the Lucene team for creating such a high-quality product. Lucene is one of the landmark proofs that Open Source paradigm can result in high-quality and free products.

"EasyMock provides Mock Objects for interfaces (and objects through the class extension) by generating them on the fly using Java's proxy mechanism. Due to EasyMock's unique style of recording expectations, most refactorings will not affect the Mock Objects. So EasyMock is a perfect fit for Test-Driven Development. EasyMock is open source software available under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license. Development, downloads and issue tracking are hosted on SourceForge. "
