+http://datavision.sourceforge.net/ - A report generation tool in Java:, has a GUI for interactive report building.  Kinda clumsy, but works OK and has a low learning curve.

http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/ - a web-based report framework based on Cocoon.  Demo looks very nice.  Hand-coded XML report definitions.

Many languages have been implemented (or re-implemented) in Java.  Here's a list: Programming Languages for the Java Virtual Machine

This is an interesting paper about how the singleton pattern gets abused, why that's bad, and one approach to working around the problem: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/co-single.html

Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Blueprints																																			 | http://java.sun.com/j2ee/blueprints/																																																						 This is how Sun thinks you should build big applications using Java.  I pretty much agree, except that I don't like JSP.

  A list of commercial and free EJB servers: http://www.mgm-edv.de/ejbsig/ejbservers.html																																																			 
  OpenEJB - an open-source ejb container from the author of the o'reilly ejb book .  Very much under construction: a great opportunity to find out how an EJB container really works.																									  http://openejb.exolab.org/
  JOnAS Open Application Server for EJB, looks like it was written by a research group inside Groupe Bull and now it's a spin-off called Evidian.																																																	http://www.evidian.com/jonas/index.htm																																																					 
  Geronimo is a project started in the summer of 2003 to build a J2EE server under the auspices of the Apache project.  It caused a big ruckus before a single line of code was written because some of the contributors are/were jboss committers, and they were promptly kicked out of jboss.  http://incubator.apache.org/projects/geronimo.html

  joeq - a JVM written in Java: http://joeq.sourceforge.net/
  JRockit - a "server" JVM written by a small co that was acquired by BEA, now available for free download and use (no source available).  Only works on Intel chips, might be good on Linux as it manages its own threads (so at least WL on linux won't drive top nuts).  http://www.bea.com/products/weblogic/jrockit/
  IBM - http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p - substantially faster than Sun's JVM on Linux.

+http://skaringa.sf.net - works very well for "inside-out" XML, i.e. you start with some Java objects and want to marshal them to XML, do something, and then unmarshal.  Most of the other tools are designed to work "outside-in" i.e. you've got a DTD and want to get documents that match that DTD into Java.  Very fast, very easy to get a handle on.

Supports pipelined XSLT transforms which lets you generate/parse pretty much any XML structure.

+http://xstream.codehaus.org/ - like skaringa, but doesn't need a no-arg constructor.
 http://www.bifrost.org/xmlio/ - looks similar to Skaringa, very Java-centric

+http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/betwixt/ - an apache project, seems to be oriented towards Javabeans rather than plain old java
 http://jxv.sourceforge.net/ - xml <->objects 

also JAXB (from Sun), Castor (from Exolab, very fussy).

http://jaxme.sf.net/ - another.  sucky website, dunno bout the code.

+http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/ - looks pretty nice, has an integrated cache.
 http://voruta.sourceforge.net/
 http://discoverdbgui.sourceforge.net/ - a GUI that will pull metadata out of a database and put it in an XML file.  I've used a tool from the Jakarta Torque project for the same purpose, but this might be easier in a one-shot case.

 I like to have code generate documentation where possible, since that keeps the docs close to the code.  I'm intrigued by the idea of literate programming but don't really have the time to pick it up.
  another doclet, this one can do sequence diagrams - http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/umlgraph/
  And last but not least here's a project that generates UML image files from java code (standalone, not javadoc, has a GUI): http://jug.sourceforge.net/
