The architecture of Logging Toolkit for Java includes loggers, handlers, filters, and formatters. Loggers generate the data to be logged; there are message loggers for end users and administrators and trace loggers for developers. Handlers process the event data generated by the loggers and correspond to a physical device, such as a console, file, or socket. Filters control which log records are written to the output devices controlled by the Handlers. Formatters present event data in a desired format and recognize specific types of events; multiple formatters may be attached to a handler, which allows the handler to process diverse event types.

Create interactive, plug-in free and very compact Java presentations and product simulations for the web. Development is done by visually connecting preprogrammed objects or by coding in Java. Several add-ons are available, for example a realtime 3D engine, where textures can be replaced with interactive 2D presentations. Other add-ons are an MPEG video player, slide show viewer and an MP3 player.

A tool that enhances Javadoc documentation files with semantic information. The product's operation can be divided into three phases: Information from the original Javadoc files is processed and stored in XML files. Static analyses are performed on classfiles and its results are stored in XML files. XSL transformations are applied on the XMLs generated in stages 1 and 2, re-creating the Javadoc look-and-feel with the analysis results added.

PureTest is primarily targeted for function testing in the earlier phases of a development project. Even though it supports testing a variety of applications it is especially useful for debugging and snooping of web applications. PureTest includes a HTTP Recorder and Web Crawler which makes it useful for generic verification of HTTP requests and web content checking. The HTTP Recorder simplifies the process of capturing all requests that are exchanged between a browser and the web server. The Web Crawler is useful to pro-actively verify the consistence of a static web structure. It reports various metrics, broken links and the structure of the crawled web.

RefactorIT is a powerful refactoring tool. With RefactorIT, a developer can take source code of any size and complexity, and rework it into well-designed code by means of automated refactorings such as Rename Field/Method/Variable/Class/Package, Extract Method, Extract Superclass/Interface, Move Class, Encapsulate Field, etc. RefactorIT provides a comprehensive set of smart query functions that make it possible to analyze and track large volumes of code. RefactorIT comes as a standalone tool or integrates seamlessly with NetBeans, Sun ONE Studio, JDeveloper, JBuilder.

HttpRevealer is a utility program for web developers, Webmasters, Flash developers, and Network Administrators. It reveals the communications between a web browser and a webserver at the HTTPlevel. You get to see all the HTTP request/response headers. It helps you to debug your web applications, Flash applications and web server.

compactHTML is a configurable command-line tool for reducing the size of HTML, PHP etc text files. By removing extra white space, tabs etc you can get significant reductions in size. If pages are downloaded thousands of times then this reduction become even more important - saving on bandwidth while improving speed. Over 20% size reductions have been seen, average is between 10-18%.
