ASM is an all purpose Java bytecode manipulation and analysis framework. It can be used to modify existing classes or dynamically generate classes, directly in binary form. The provided common transformations and analysis algorithms allow easily assembling custom complex transformations and code analysis tools.

Common utilities used in all FEST module.

Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate a new object of a particular class. It is common to see restrictions in libraries stating that classes must require a default constructor. Objenesis aims to overcome these restrictions by bypassing the constructor on object instantiation.

JMock is a library that supports test-driven development of Java code with mock objects. Mock objects help you design and test the interactions between the objects in your programs.

The jMock library

• makes it quick and easy to define mock objects

• lets you precisely specify the interactions between your objects, reducing the brittleness of your tests

• plugs into your favourite test framework

• is easy to extend.

This package provides the Eclipse content mechanism in the org.eclipse.core.contenttype module.

OSGi, for Open Services Gateway initiative framework, is a module system and service platform for the Java programming language. This package contains the support annotations for metatype.

JSON Processing (JSON-P) is a Java API to process (e.g. parse, generate, transform and query) JSON messages. It produces and consumes JSON text in a streaming fashion (similar to StAX API for XML) and allows building a Java object model for JSON text using API classes (similar to DOM API for XML).

This package provides the Java development kit OpenJDK.

This package provides the Java development kit OpenJDK.

Conversant Disruptor is the highest performing intra-thread transfer mechanism available in Java. Conversant Disruptor is an implementation of this type of ring buffer that has almost no overhead and that exploits a particularly simple design.

This package provides the Equinox application container for Eclipse.

Ant is a platform-independent build tool for Java. It is similar to make but is implemented using the Java language, requires the Java platform, and is best suited to building Java projects. Ant uses XML to describe the build process and its dependencies, whereas Make uses Makefile format.

AssertJ core is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for writing assertions. Its main goal is to improve test code readability and make maintenance of tests easier.

Sisu is a modular JSR330-based container that supports classpath scanning, auto-binding, and dynamic auto-wiring. This package adds Plexus support to the Sisu-Inject container.

The Plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing software projects. Based on the Plexus container, the applications can utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components that can easily be assembled and reused. This package provides the Maven plugin generating the component metadata.

Kafka is a distributed streaming platform, which means:

• it can publish and subscribe to streams of records;

• it can store streams of records in a fault-tolerant way;

• it can process streams of records as they occur.

Woodstox is a stax XML API implementation.

This package implements POJO type materialization. Databinders can construct implementation classes for Java interfaces as part of deserialization.

XMLUnit provides you with the tools to verify the XML you emit is the one you want to create. It provides helpers to validate against an XML Schema, assert the values of XPath queries or compare XML documents against expected outcomes.

Metadata-extractor is a straightforward Java library for reading metadata from image files. It is able to read metadata in Exif, IPTC, XMP, ICC and more formats.

Dataformat backends are used to support format alternatives to JSON, supported by default. This is done by sub-classing Jackson core abstractions.

The Apache Commons Net library implements the client side of many basic Internet protocols. The purpose of the library is to provide fundamental protocol access, not higher-level abstractions.

QDox is a high speed, small footprint parser for extracting class/interface/method definitions from source files complete with JavaDoc @tags. It is designed to be used by active code generators or documentation tools.

This package contains the parent pom for projects from ow2.org, including java-asm.
