Open Source Java Build Tools

XMLUnit 2.x Development Moved to GitHub XMLUnit provides help with testing code that creates or consumes XML. XMLUNit 2.x is available for both Java and .NET with a similar API. Development of this version has moved to a GitHub organization[1] with two git repositories for Java and .NET respectively. All discussion about XMLUnit independent of any version will happen on the XMLUnit general mailing list[2]. XMLUnit for Java 1.x is no longer maintained, please use the legacy artifacts of XMLUnit 2.x if you still need APIs compatible with XMLUnit 1.x. We keep using the Sourceforge infrastructure that has served as well for many years to host forums and mailing lists. XMLUnit for .NET 0.x is not maintained any longer.

a Java utility for comparing the contents of any two zip files. It can also be used to compare EAR files, WAR files, or JAR files.

DEP4E integrates DocBook XML and DocBook XSL into Eclipse IDE to create, edit and process DocBook projects.

Eclipse Plug-In for deploying a project into one "fat" executable jar file containing all referenced libraries. References are taken from the project settings, so no manual configuration is necessary.

A group of Java-based testing tools and JUnit extensions aimed at increasing quality awareness and ease of introduction of testing tools into the development cycle. Examples are Automated documentation, class hierarchy unit testing, and code coverage.

Java-based tools for Neverwinter Nights module developers. These utilities allow more typical development practices to be applied to module development.

A tool chain allowing quick migration from existing SOAP webservices implementation to RESTful webservices implementation by using axisting WSDL defintion together with the services impl. classes.(dev. by a group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/slosc)

Vizant is an Apache Ant task to visualize an ant build file using GraphViz.

JxMake is a Java-based, cross-platform build system primarily inspired by the syntax and features of GNU Make, Perforce Jam, and CMake. In addition, JxMake provides several capabilities not typically found in other console-based build systems, including a built-in lightweight GUI, serial console, serial plotter, multi-MCU in-system programmer, and more. Currently, JxMake's loadable libraries (build scripts) are primarily designed for non-OS MCU systems and experimental use. Full support for building desktop applications is planned for future development. Building JxMake requires Java SDK 8 or later (note that Java SDK 8 is a Long-Term Support version).

Mavenizer intends to ease the (rather painfull) process of making third party libraries (which are not built with Maven) available as artifacts on a maven repository.

Raptor (Rapid Application ProtoTyping of Objects and their Relations). Java Frontend Framework that supports JavaBeans, Hibernate, Jakarta-POI, and a simple Raptor data access layer.

AJIO allows building jars from one or more classes. The created jar file contains all dependant classes from all referenced jar files. AJIO permet de créer UN jar ŕ partir d'une ou plusieurs classes et de leur dépendances automatiquement.

Actor provides a web-enabled, self-service user interface to run your scripts. You run a desktop application to setup your scripts in Actor. Your users get a web site where they access your scripts in a controlled, fail-safe manner.

Ant Tasks for Eclipse.

AntFly is a common build.xml script for apache ant (and java) that can be used in small projects instead of trying to make a build.xml from scratch.It includes a set of tasks that can perform tipical operations like building project, CVS checking, etc.

AntRssTask is module that allows you to write messages from your Ant build to an RSS feed. Be notified simply when a build completes or fails or publish useful messages for every step in your script.

AntViz is a graphical Ant-script-dependency viewer and -debugger, implemented as a jEdit-plugin. All targets and their dependencies are displayed as a directed graph. Step-through debugging of targets is possible.

Build System for Java offers an enhanced build environment that ties together deployment instructions, environment configuration and source code as a releaseable entity. A new paradigm for configuration management!

The BlueJ Ant extension gives the developer more control over the compilation of their projects from within the BlueJ IDE by using ant build files.

Develepper's Tools (in command line) integrating an extensible core and plugins

A monitor aimed for monitoring build systems such as CruiseControl, Hudson, Anthillpro, Parabuild, Continuum or similar. It reads a status page from each buld system and signals if a build has failed.

BuildsBoard consolidates all the jobs of one or more Jenkins / Hudson URLs on single web page. Navigate to specific job, view, Jenkins is very easy by this dashboard. This can be useful in large scale organisations who contains hundreds of products and managing Jenkins CI using Master/Slave concept or Stand-alone instance. The dashboard shows all the jobs of Jenkins instances with their status, who triggered, last build details.

A framework for creating java GUI application by defining GML(Graphics Markup Language) only drag and drop GUI component in CS3 software. After define GML this software can generate source code automatically comply with the framework(View,Modal,Controlle

Clirr is a tool that checks Java libraries for binary and source compatibility with older releases. The Clirr Ant task can break the build if it detects incompatible api changes, making it easy to prevent accidental introduction of compatibiliy issues.
