If you download any of this software, please let me know. I also appreciate any and all comments - even negative ones.
I had a jaz drive cartridge sector go bad on me, corrupting my most
recent backup during an OS upgrade. Thus was born this small project,
which automates the recovery of files and data out of corrupted gzip
and tar files. This was a lifesaver to say the least.
A while back I found myself in need of a Java command line option parser.
Unsatisfied with free versions I was able to find on the net, I volunteered
to port the GNU getopt family of functions from C to Java. The current
release is 1.0.14 (released 2012/02/08).
The GNU Java getopt classes support short and long argument parsing in a
manner 100% compatible with the version of GNU getopt in glibc 2.0.6 with
a mostly compatible programmer's interface as well. Note that this is a
port, not a new implementation. I am currently unaware of any bugs in this
software, but there certainly could be some lying about. I would appreciate
bug reports as well as hearing about positive experiences.
I started writing a java.net implementation for the Japhar JVM back in
March 1998. With that tiny base, a group of Java aficionados on the net
has gone on to create a reasonably functional replacement for Sun's Java
libraries called Classpath. Visit
that home page for software downloads, including both tarballs and CVS.
Note that while Sun has now open sourced Java, almost all free Java
virtual machines as well as the Java support in the GNU C Compiler continue
to use Classpath. Do your due diligence.
Mauve is a complementary project
to Classpath formed to create a free Java test suite. This package will both
serve as a library regression test suite and test conformance to various
Java specification levels. This project is still very rough, but code is
available by CVS from the home page.
