libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

Recaf
The modern Java bytecode editor
Recaf is an open-source Java bytecode editor that simplifies the process of editing compiled Java applications. To make things easier Recaf abstracts away much of the internal class file format. Difficult tasks such as updating stack-frames are done automatically. Along with additional features to assist in the process of editing classes, Recaf is the most feature-rich free bytecode editor available. While Recaf makes bytecode editing a more simple process it does not mean you should dive head-first into editing compiled Java applications without understanding some basic programming concepts and the Java class file architecture. -

Hacker Scripts
Based on a true story
Hacker Scripts is a cheeky collection of small automation scripts and language ports collected under the tagline “Based on a true story.” The repository gathers playful utilities (originally shell and Ruby scripts) that automate short, real-world tasks — for example, sending a quick “late at work” text when SSH sessions are active, firing off an automated “I’m sick / working from home” email on certain mornings, or even talking to a networked coffee machine to start brewing at precisely the right moment. The README explains the origin story and highlights several canonical scripts and provides usage notes such as required environment variables and cron examples for scheduling. Contributors have provided implementations and ports in many languages and folders (shell, Ruby, Python, Node, Perl, PowerShell, Go, Java, etc.), and the project explicitly welcomes pull requests that add additional language implementations. -

LWJGL
Java library that enables cross-platform access to popular native APIs
LWJGL is a Java library that enables cross-platform access to popular native APIs useful in the development of graphics (OpenGL, Vulkan), audio (OpenAL) and parallel computing (OpenCL) applications. This access is direct and high-performance, yet also wrapped in a type-safe and user-friendly layer, appropriate for the Java ecosystem. LWJGL is an enabling technology and provides low-level access. It is not a framework and does not provide higher-level utilities than what the native libraries expose. As such, novice programmers are encouraged to try one of the frameworks or game engines that make use of LWJGL, before working directly with the library. -

VisualVM perfectly fits all the requirements of application developers, system administrators, quality engineers and end users. VisualVM automatically detects and lists locally and remotely running Java applications (jstatd must be running on the remote host). You can also define applications manually by JMX connection. For each process VisualVM shows basic runtime information: PID, main class, arguments passed to java process, JVM version, JDK home, JVM flags and arguments and System properties. -

HikariCP
A solid, high-performance, JDBC connection pool at last
HikariCP is a high-performance JDBC connection pooling library designed to offer minimal overhead and maximum throughput. It aims for simplicity and stability, concentrating on fast connection acquisition and minimal latency under load. Its internals manage a pool of connections aggressively but smartly, with options such as leak detection, timeout thresholds, and adaptive connection retirement. Because it avoids heavy internal locking, it scales well in high-concurrency environments, making it a popular choice in microservices and high-throughput web backends. Metrics and instrumentation hooks (for example, via Dropwizard or Micrometer) allow runtime visibility into pool usage and health. HikariCP’s focus is on doing the essential work of pooling correctly and efficiently, rather than bundling extraneous features.
