Commons Codec contains some general encoding/decoding algorithms, including phonetic encoders, Hex and Base64 encoders, and a URL encoder. The phonetic encoders are language encoders, which are useful in applications such as search engines, spell-check functions, and digital dictionaries. Hex and Base64 encoders are useful in applications that use characters to represent binary data. The URL encoder comes with more features and is considered a replacement for the JDK classes URLEncoder and URLDecoder.

Java Artifact Repository live

I have been annoyed by lack of comprehensive artifact repository in Java community. Perl has CPAN, Python has PyPI, Ruby has Gems and to this moment Java did not have something that would resemble CPAN as Wikipedia put it.

And therefore I wrote my version of CJAR, which is based on Maven repository structure but is not Maven specific and has some additional services available:

- search artifacts by name or content: class names etc.;

- quickly getting information about artifacts – license, bytecode version, availability of javadocs and sources;

- creation of Ant or Maven build file based on selected artifacts;

- jardiff that allows comparing different versions of Jars and see precisely what has changed at class and package levels: new and removed classes, methods, and method signatures;

I am working for SourceLabs and the company supports the service and hosts it on its servers at:

http://area51.sourcelabs.com/cjar/app

It is just a beginning – many things needs to be done:

* repository needs to be filled with artifacts;

* POM files needs to be cleaned;

* missed information needs to be put into POMs and MANIFEST files;

* java artifacts needs to be signed by they authors or trusted persons;

* more information should be available about artifacts;

Please visit the CJAR site and leave feedback, together we can fill the gap in Java infrastructure!

The Jakarta Commons components are a group of Java components that implement common functionality. They are a great place to start looking when you need a utility function that you know a million other people must have written before, and you’d really like to not re-write it.

• Collections—This is a set of many common/useful collection classes that are not included in the JDK
• Lang—Contains a lot of classes for extending the Core Java Library. This includes things like utilites for HTML escaping a string, or creating a mutable integer object.
• Logging—Contains a wrapper around most of the common logging models

In addition to the released projects there is also a sandbox area where more experimental components live.

All the Jakarta Commons projects are covered in SourceLabs Self-support Suite for Linux and Open Source Java

Apache Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. These are Java standards for developing dynamic web applications. Tomcat is widely used, although some people would like to see a better management console.

Tomcat is covered by SourceLabs Self-Support for Java offering and is also included in JBOSS.
