fawkeZ
A set of Java classes, tools and utilities, together with principles and guidelines for agile software development. It covers code analysis reporting, lifecycle documentation and XSLT code generation.
Java tooling collective / since 2006
Three projects, built in the open.
The jCoderZ are a group of Java developers and their projects. We welcome anyone interested in Java. Our work covers code analysis reporting, lifecycle documentation, key and certificate tooling, and media libraries.
01 / Project index
Three archives, one shared foundation.
Each project keeps its own release rhythm, its own wiki and its own source tree. All three are maintained in the open, and the fawkeZ library is released under the BSD license. The original Trac archives remain readable here, page by page.
keyToolZ
Independent security tools that simplify recurring key and certificate work: the Keystore Explorer with its built in mini certificate authority, and an SSL capable TCP proxy that can log traffic.
m3dditieZ
Projects grouped around organising MP3 libraries with high quality metadata, including a UPnP media renderer, a library server and general purpose Java bindings.
02 / Capabilities
What the collective builds.
Most of the code started as internal tooling and was later released so that other teams could use it. Each capability below links to the page that documents it in the archive.
Code analysis
One combined report across the analysis tools a Java build already runs.
Lifecycle documentation
Generators for requirements and architecture documents, backed by DocBook.
Java foundations
Utility classes and XSLT generators that keep application code small and explicit.
Security and media
Practical tooling for certificates, encrypted sockets and home music libraries.
03 / Archive activity
From the project wikis.
The wiki keeps its original change history. These are the last edits recorded in the fawkeZ archive before work moved to a new build line.
- Project news fawkeZ 2.0.0 work announced, moving an Ant build to multiple Maven projects
- Wiki edit BookMarks received its final update
- Wiki edit New pages for JTidy and XmlDoclet were created
- Wiki edit FindBugs integration notes updated
- Wiki edit Continuous integration notes added for CruiseControl
- Wiki edit The FAQ was expanded with the report quality formula
04 / The collective
We welcome anyone interested in Java.
The collective is small, the archives are open and the mail list is still the front door. Read the member list, or start with a project and follow its wiki.
