This guide to the major open source Java projects available today provides the information needed to determine how specific projects address programming needs. As it is uncommon for a single open source project to solve every problem, programmers are shown the connectivity between projects with a focus on modern component and service-oriented design and the preservation of long-term flexibility and sustainability. Special attention is given to server-side Java with an emphasis on web application development. Projects reviewed are placed into functional categories, including supporting tools, frameworks and meta-frameworks, workflow, data mining, and analysis. The business realities of open source projects such as the licenses involved, the community behind a project, its leadership, and the availability of commercial support are also discussed.Nash, Michael P. is the author of 'Explorer's Guide to Open Source Java Tools', published 2004 under ISBN 9781932394191 and ISBN 1932394192.
