XSV (XML Schema Validator) is an open source (GPLed) work-in-progress attempt at a conformant schema-aware processorhttp://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xsv-status.html

eXist a very usable XML - XQuery - XPath - DOM retrievial engine, that indexes text content - I'm a developer in it

The dbXML Core is a native XML database. As such it is a database server intended to manage large numbers of small XML documents. The documents are stored in collections and the server provides the ability to query these collections using XPath. The server is lightweight, modular and suitable for embedding in custom applications or running as a standalone database. The dbXML Core is written in Java and it provides an implementation of the XML:DB XML Database API that makes developing XML database applications easy. Now part of Apache : XIndice

HTML TIDY     a batch way to clean HTML (especially of Microsoft origin) and make it XHTML (an interactive way being Amaya)

Ant is a Java based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without make's wrinkles.

http://www.w3.org/Amaya / from W3C, a good (X)HTML editor, with MVC design, and SVG and MathML capabilities; converts HTML to XHTML and windows-1252 encoding to iso-8859-1 or utf-8

Cocoon2 est une application Web (Webapp au sens J2EE) qui permet de publier du contenu XML ou autre en s'appuyant sur des chaînes de transformations XSLT; il assure une séparation rigoureuse du contenu (exemple un article de catalogue), de la logique de traitement (e.g. ajouter au caddy), et de la présentation (e.g. la mise en page)

Castor (XML-Java bridge) - Castor is an open source data binding framework for Java[tm]. It's basically the shortest path between Java objects, XML documents, SQL tables and LDAP directories. Castor provides Java to XML binding, Java to SQL/LDAP persistence, and then some more.

xsmiles, a LGPL browser with xhtml basic + css, best xforms implementation yet, multiple namespace mixing, xml events, smil animation,

standalone XPath support: Jaxen can query a DOM (or JDOM) object

Languages, tools and frameworks

• ArgoUML : Object-oriented design tool and UML editor  http://argouml.tigris.org/ ; generates Java code; saves in XMI, the standard XML format for UML; does now sequence diagrams !
• other UML tools, classified by price (currently 14 at 0$ !)
  
• Perl language -http://perl.com/
• NetBeans is an open source IDE written in the Java^TMprogramming language (http://www.netbeans.org/)

•  Eclipse is an an open extensible IDE similar to Netbeans; I am currently using eclipse only - list of eclipse plugins
  
• BlueJ is an integrated Java environment specifically designed for introductory teaching; shows simple class diadrams from source - alas not open-source - une approche totalement originale pour apprendre Java, http://BlueJ.org un environnement d'apprentissage de Java fait par plusieurs enseignants, et de préférence le livre en Français de Barnes et Kölling qui va avec.

• Source-Navigator is a source code analysis tool. With it, you can edit your source code, display relationships between classes and functions and members, and display call trees. It is "sans-pareil" for navigating quickly around large volumes of code. Source-Navigator works with the Insight GUI interface for GDB. Source-Navigator supports C, C++, Java, Tcl, [incr Tcl], FORTRAN and COBOL, and provides an SDK so that you can write your own parsers.

• Jikes^TMis a Java compiler.Jikes has five advantages over the Sun provided javac compiler: High performance, better error messages, Open source, Strictly Java compatible, Dependency analysishttp://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/
• JFluid - The JFluid project from Sun provides technology for Java application profiling (it can also be used for monitoring and debugging)

• JavaML: An XML Markup Language for Java Source Code; there is an option of the Jikes compiler to produce this JavaML from plain Java source, and an XSLT stylesheet for the reverse transform.

• JADE - J.A.D.E. Java(TM) Addition to Default Environment; http://dautelle.com/jade/ (Java framework providing units and error computations, i. e. interval computations)
• JBoss is an Open Source, standards-compliant, application server implemented in 100% Pure Java and distributed for free. I didn't want to buy the documentation, so I had to  struggle a bit to have the JBoss.3.0TemplateAndExamples/template sample working; it is 100% command line, using Ant; I wrote a small HOWTO to tell the exact procedure to run the sample.
• ObjectWeb, a concurrent of JBoss among open source J2EE frameworks; also the newborn Geronimo of apache.org
  
• alma - A software workshop for modeling and analysing. It has an IDE with UML functionalities, but it is especially valuable to translate between OO languages
• Poseidon, commercial but free version, based on (and enhances) ArgoUML
• Umbrello UML Object Modeller for Linux (KDE)
• Unimodeler 1.2 Aug-02 Linux - supports all 9 UML diagrams, GTK (Gnome) based, postscript printing
• Java ==> UML in batch : JUG - Java UML Generator
• Doxygen : ( my Doxyfile file ) it generates Javadoc-like Web pages, with nice clickable diagrams for inheritance and class-valued properties; contrary to all UML editors that I know, the graph layout is automatically done, which is nice to grasp quickly a new piece of software.
• Xref-Java2Html A Java documentation tool.
• Grasp a Java editor with nice graphical signs around loops and other language constructs
• PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems. It works with Rule Sets in XML: Basic, Naming, Unused Code, Design, Import Statements, JUnit Tests, Strings, Braces, Code Size and produces reports in XML or HTML. The latest developpement, CDP ( find Copied and pasted code) shows all the chunks of duplicated code of length superior to a given size,  with their locations.; see also an article about CPD here : http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/03/12/pmd_cpd.html -
  PMD (http://pmd.sourceforge.net/) je le recommande car il permet de tester le code par rapport à des règles. Les règles en XML sont configurables. En plus il a la fonctionalité unique de lister tous les bouts de code qui ont été copiés-collés.
  
• Echidna - A free multiprocess system in Java - allows to have a JVM constantly in the background, so that you don't have to wait 2 seconds everytime for the loading of a new Virtual Machine (this is what Sun should have done for a long time). It has a generalized  and dynamical CLASSPATH but alas it doesn't accept jars in classpath.
• JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an architecture for unit testing frameworks. It has been designed by Erich Gamma, one of the famous Gang of Four.
• L'outil que j'utilise pour tester en batch une IHM Java, sans avoir à cliquer c'est Abbot (http://abbot.sourceforge.net/). on peut enregistrer une séquence  d'actions utilisateur, la rejouer, et même spécifier des assertions.
  
• kompare, a very beautiful graphic file comparer; it took me a long time to realize that I allready had it with RedHat 8.0 !
• JDepend . JDepend traverses Java class file directories and generates dependency relations and design quality metrics for each Java package. ...
