Open Source Build Tools

BuildSys exists to help multi-platform projects keep all their various build files in sync. It uses a single '.build' file to generate autoconf/automake .ac/.am files, visual studio 6 .dsp/.dsw files, vs.net .vcproj/.sln files, Dev-C++ .dev files, etc.

JxMake is a Java-based, cross-platform build system primarily inspired by the syntax and features of GNU Make, Perforce Jam, and CMake. In addition, JxMake provides several capabilities not typically found in other console-based build systems, including a built-in lightweight GUI, serial console, serial plotter, multi-MCU in-system programmer, and more. Currently, JxMake's loadable libraries (build scripts) are primarily designed for non-OS MCU systems and experimental use. Full support for building desktop applications is planned for future development. Building JxMake requires Java SDK 8 or later (note that Java SDK 8 is a Long-Term Support version).

a Java utility for comparing the contents of any two zip files. It can also be used to compare EAR files, WAR files, or JAR files.

ARIO is a C++ library for reading and producing archive files, which are commonly used as libraries of relocatable object files. See also ELFIO project.(http://sourceforge.net/projects/elfio)

Build System for Java offers an enhanced build environment that ties together deployment instructions, environment configuration and source code as a releaseable entity. A new paradigm for configuration management!

RDI is a library that gives your application the ability to install its dependencies at runtime. Perfect for plugins oriented architectures. Many kind of deps: RPMs, DEBs, .so, .dll, RubyGems... Easily extensible to new kinds.

Data Evolution for Java. Finch is a Data Transformation System based on JDBC and other Java blessed specifications. Finch is based on a component task architecture allowing users to create complex data manipulation jobs.

Use this tool to protect the source of your Perl-Project and make the scripts unreadable without compiling! Currently the Script replaces the names of variables (Scalars / Hashes) with random-character constructions. PerlSourceProtector supports to work

VSPMS is the "Very Simple Project Management System", which is a cross-platform set of shell tools and aliases to establish and share project environment variables, aliases, documentation, and setup procedures.

This project was started in an effort to ease development of Swing applications by creating a XML to Swing rendering utility. Although this project is definitely in the first released state, it shows great promise and focuses solely on the Swing API as a

Tool to create SVF files from HEX files for Atmel microcontrollers, similar to the closed-source avrsvf.exe application available from Atmel. You should be able to compile the tool on any platform with a C compiler, like Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD.

Utilities for J2EE EAR files

FreeSP is an infrastructure for programming platform-independend online signal processing applications. Ports to specific platforms (like DSPs and microcontrollers) are made by simply exchanging the freeSP System-module.

pyLPCTools is a replacement for the Flash Programming Tools use with the Philips(tm)/NXP(tm) LPC2xxx series of ARM based microcontrollers. pyLPCTools is a script together with some ARM assembly language and a Python user interface. Please Donate !!

Elaborate Visual Studio .vcxproj / .vcproj projects to CMakeLists.txt converter, enabling Makefile or Ninja or IDE builds, i.e. full multi-platform CMake functionality (Linux, Mac, Windows...). Live Update capability: supports side-by-side tracking of evolving original proj files, within build tree!! Script hooks for static CMake defs, powerful definition-to-variable mapping. Access to project data content is via git repository _only_ (it's a developer infrastructure project, thus alternatives are less suitable). Be aware of several branches available for checkout (git branch -a): "experimental_unverified" is for the daring (to start with current most featureful code), while usability of "experimental" always gets hardened via a large build. For instructions see README.txt - for ad-hoc access see Browse Code button (experimental_unverified head) -, then attempt guided installation on a .vc[x]proj-based source tree, via install_me_fully_guided.rb . Devel cooperation welcome!!
