Key Technology list
We recommend the following products to anybody doing development or systems integration work. We know that every item here has a significant impact on the efficiency of our work, and the quality of our output. Most of these are open source software, and details for many of them can be found on our Open Source Software page.
productproduct typestrengths
JBoss App Server
WebSphere App Server
WebLogic Server 		J2EE Application Servers High-performance, highly scalable Servlet/EJB containers. Takes a great deal of experience to keep complexity under control, and to avoid vendor lock-in with these products.
Apache Tomcat
 		Java Servlet Container Light-weight, very portable, most-tested servlet container. Even if your target app server is not Tomcat, a popular and efficient paradigm is for workstation developers to use Tomcat. The drastically lower system requirements, and much simpler configuration, result in higher developer productivity.
Displaytag
 		Java Tag Library Tags for simple but flexible display of interactive tables
HyperSQL
 		Database Very portable, since pure Java. Extremely fast and efficient. Very easy to embed and to administer.
Gimp
 		Raster image editor Extremely powerful for creating or editing 2D raster images (the kind used in the great majority of web and development projects).
Blender
 		3D model editor Extremely powerful for creating 3D models.
JSTL Java Tag Library The industry standard tag libraries for basic MVC needs. JSTL will probably not satisfy all of your presentation needs, but preferring JSTL features which are present leads to consistency within and across applications.
Spring Framework
 		Java IOC Framework Great framework for declarative object wiring.
Spring MVC Web Application Framework Much better and less invasive than Struts.
Apache Tiles 2
 		Tile-based webapp presentation Framework Industry standard tiles framework. Version 2 is independent of Struts and has none of Struts' idiosyncracies
Java Web Start Java program distribution and invocation framework Very easy for end-users.
JMX Framework to manage persistent objects Isolates the "managed" objects from managing applications, which may be multiple and remote.
Rsync
 		Remote copying and mirroring program Extremely efficient and powerful for any UNIX-to-UNIX (incl. Cygwin) mirroring.
Apache Ant
 		Java compilation and assembly Industry standard for building Java software
Apache Ivy
 		Java Library Dependency Manager For use with Ant. Very non-invasive and flexible. Features are very similar to just the library-dependency aspect of (the rather invasive) Apache Maven.
Cygwin
 		UNIX Utilities for Windows Lets you run professional quality scripts on Windows, besides providing excellent distributions of openssh, vim, rsync, X windows, openssl, and Subversion.
Subversion Source Code Change Control While not perfect, it is miles ahead of every other available source code change control product, especially the commercial products. (Git is capable, but its goals are not applicable to the average commercial development project).
Apache Commons LoggingJava Logging Wrapper Allows developers to always code to a single API, and let product designers or users decide between the ubiquitous (but pitifully lame) java.util.logging, the powerful Log4j.
