SymmetricDS is web-enabled, database independent, data synchronization/replication software. It uses web and database technologies to replicate tables between relational databases in near real time. The software was designed to scale for a large number of databases, work across low-bandwidth connections, and withstand periods of network outage. By using database triggers, SymmetricDS guarantees that data changes are captured and atomicity is preserved. Support for database vendors is provided through a Database Dialect layer, with implementations for MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2, Firebird, HSQLDB, H2, and Apache Derby included. Synchronization can be configured to push data (trickle-back) or pull data (trickle-poll) at an interval. SymmetricDS allows for synchronization between two or more tiers of nodes, such as the following: A farm of web server nodes fronting an enterprise-class general office database A handful of regional servers for synchronizing from the general office to remote geographical areas 1000(s) of store server nodes using a departmental class database to sync with a regional node 10(s) of Point of Sale (POS) register nodes using an embedded database to sync with a store server Deployment options include the following: Web application archive (WAR) deployed to an application server such as Tomcat, Jetty, or JBoss Standalone service Embedded in an application SymmetricDS is written in Java and licensed as open source software under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

UNICASE is a CASE-Tool integrating models from the different development acitivities, such as requirements, use cases, UML models, schedules, bug and feature models into a unified model. This unified model is highly traceable by design. The UNICASE client allows to view and edit these models in a textual, tabular and diagram visualization. The models are stored and versioned on a server comparable to svn but customized for models. Client and server are easily extensible to support integrating new models into the unified model. UNICASE is based on the Eclipse platform including EMF and GMF. It can also be used as a framework to build modeling applications that reuse its repository and visualization capabilities. The project is open-source and released under the Eclipse Public License v 1.0 (EPL). It builds on our experience from the Sysiphus project in building a CASE tool.

ModeShape (formerly "JBoss DNA") is a JCR 2.0 (JSR-283) implementation that provides access to content stored in many different kinds of systems. A ModeShape repository isn't yet another silo of isolated information, but rather it's a JCR view of the information you already have in your environment: files systems, databases, other repositories, services, applications, etc. To your applications, ModeShape looks and behaves like a regular JCR repository. Using the standard JCR API, applications can search, navigate, version, and listen for changes in the content. But under the covers, ModeShape gets its content by federating multiple back-end systems (like databases, services, other repositories, etc.), allowing those systems to continue "owning" the information while ensuring the unified repository stays up-to-date and in sync. ModeShape repositories can be used in a variety of applications. One of the most obvious ones is in provisioning and management, where it's critical to understand and keep track of the metadata for models, database, services, components, applications, clusters, machines, and other systems used in an enterprise. Governance takes that a step farther, by also tracking the policies and expectations against which performance can be verified. In these cases, a repository is an excellent mechanism for managing this complex and highly-varied information. But a ModeShape repository doesn't have to be large and complex: it could just manage configuration information for an application, or it could just provide a JCR interface on top of a couple of non-JCR systems.

"Gremlin is a graph traversal language. The documentation herein will provide all the information necessary to understand how to use Gremlin for graph query, analysis, and manipulation. Gremlin works over those graph databases/frameworks that implement the Blueprints property graph data model. For example: TinkerGraph, Neo4j, OrientDB, DEX, Rexster, and Sail RDF Stores. 1 Please join the Gremlin users group at http://groups.google.com/group/gremlin-users for all TinkerPop related discussions. Finally, if you are a Gremlin user, please add to the Gremlin in the Wild wiki page with your specific Gremlin uses cases."

"I've had an opportunity recently to work on a product that needed an RIA web interface, and I chose my recent favorite tool for this, Vaadin. The services for this project needed to be highly scalable, and lent themselves well to functional techniques, so I selected Scala as my language of choice. I build my projects with Maven, for reasons I won't go into right now, and I do much of my JVM-language work in Intellij's excellent IDEA IDE. Given these tools, I found a way to facilitate very rapid development of web UI's, and I thought I'd pass it along. Another technique I use, which I'll expound on later, is creating "dummy" implementations of all of my backing services for my application. The "real" implementations are written as OSGi services, in separate modules from my UI. The UI is packaged as a war, but is also OSGi aware, with a bundle activator. This activator only gets called if the war is deployed into an OSGi container, and not otherwise. This allows the app to select which implementation of the services it uses - the "dummy" ones when it's deployed outside of OSGi, and the "real" ones when they're available. This means I can use the handy Maven jetty plugin to quickly spin up my application and test it on my local workstation, without needing all of the dependencies (like a data store and such) of my real services. That's good, in that I can get my "cycle time" down to a few seconds, where "cycle time" is the time between making a change and actually being able to test it in my browser. We can do better, though. I'm using Scala as my language of choice for building the UI as well, as it works just fine with Vaadin (and with everything else in the JVM ecosystem, for that matter, which is why I didn't choose a non-JVM language - but that's yet another rant). I compile my Scala with the Maven scala plugin - here's where the next handy bit comes into play. Turns out the Scala plugin has a goal cal

"Neo4j is a graph database. It is an embedded, disk-based, fully transactional Java persistence engine that stores data structured in graphs rather than in tables. A graph (mathematical lingo for a network) is a flexible data structure that allows a more agile and rapid style of development."

Teiid is a data virtualization system that allows applications to use data from multiple, heterogenous data stores. Teiid is comprised of tools, components and services for creating and executing bi-directional data services.  Through abstraction and federation, data is accessed and integrated in real-time across distributed data sources without copying or otherwise moving data from its system of record. 

"Hibernate OGM is an attempt to store data in a NoSQL data grid using he Hibernate Core engine rather than rewriting a JPA engine from scratch. The benefits are fairly obvious: reimplementing the complex JPA specification is a lot of work a new implementation would mature at a rather slow rate and risk of bugs would be high Hibernate is familiar to many people Earlier designs for this feature in Infinispan can be found on http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DesignofJPA-likeAPIandNewFineGrainedreplication"

"The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock this data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. Project Info odata4j is a new open-source toolkit for building first-class OData producers and first-class OData consumers in Java. "

Before you read, please look at this video, showing the core features of ECP. The EMF Client Platform is a framework to build EMF-based client applications. The goal is to provide a one-click application based on a given EMF model. Besides the EMF model no additional components have to be developed or generated. Therefore ECP provides a standard solution including the most common features needed for EMF-based client applications. This application can then be customized step by step. This can be done by extending ECP or replacing single components completly.
