Marjolein's links to Java Development Supporting Tools

There is a great variety of tools supporting your Java development efforts - whichever development environment you are using. This page is dedicated to those supporting tools. Classification can be difficult here, but I've made a stab at it (listing 'the rest' under Other tools).

You'll also find links to Class libraries components and frameworks here, as well as some Algorithms. (JavaBeans have their own page.)

(If you're looking for some ready-made applets, you should look at the Applets and Java Applications page or the Other Java Resources page.)

Due to the unfortunate death of the Mocha's creator, Hanpeter Van Vliet, I am making Mocha available for download on this page. This concurs to the Mocha's user license, and supposedly with his last whishes, which indicates that the program can be freely distributed provided it's contents is not changed.

Mocha (presumably a beta version?) is still available from here, here and here (the latter has short description).
Crema, a Java obfuscator also written by Van Vliet is no longer available for download: a kind visitor of this page sent me a copy, which revealed that it had reached the commercial stage and can no longer be distributed on line (as I would have liked to be able to do) without infringing copyright.
A note from Van Vliet's wife indicated however there may be a second life for Mocha and Crema. Well, check out JBuilder from Inprise (formerly Borland): as Van Vliet's wife was hoping, this now includes obfuscator technology.

You can read Hanpeter van Vliet's own thoughts on his Mocha decompiler and the Crema obfuscator in Hanpeter van Vliet Responds on the Java UK Experience site
