Bali - Java with a spoonful of syntactic sugar: proposed set of additions to make Java terser and safer. Terseness makes languages easier to read, write, maintain. Ideas from Abundance (Byte Magazine Oct 1986), Eiffel, Pascal, Delphi, Smalltalk, PL/I, Algol-68, Forth, even COBOL.
Borneo - Modification of the Java language designed to have true support for the IEEE 754 floating point standard.
GJ: Generic Java - Support for generics. Superset of the Java programming language. Compatible with existing libraries. [Freeware]
Jass - Java with assertions, spoken: jazz, like the music. Improvement of JaWA language extension. Gives Java the concepts of Design by Contract from Bertrand Meyer, and Eiffel, and extends them with new features. [Open Source, GPL]
The Java Modeling Language (JML) - A behavioral interface specification language that can be used to specify the behavior of Java modules.
JavaParty - A minimal extension to Java easing distributed parallel programming of cluster computers. A source code transformation automatically generates a distributed pure Java program based on RMI or KaRMI.
Javassist - Supports load-time and runtime behavioural reflection in Java by allowing classes to be modified by Java code as they are loaded in. [Freeware, source available]
jContractor - Supports Design By Contract in Java. Discovers "contracts" during class loading and instruments the class bytecodes on-the-fly to check run-time contract violations. [Apache Open Source Licence]
JJ - Simplified subset of Java (supersedes Jr), and online environment for learning programming: simple, made for beginners, includes assertions and Design by Contract from Bertrand Meyer and Eiffel; class tested over 2 years, free accounts available.
JMangler - A framework for load-time transformation of Java programs. [Open Source, LGPL]
JWIG - Java extensions for high-level Web service development; Java-based high-level language to develop interactive Web services; merges main features of <bigwig> language into Java by providing explicit support for Web service sessions, safe XHTML dynamic document building.
MetaJ - A generic protocol-based self-applicative interpreter for Java. Revolves around a generic reification procedure which can be used to reify any class of the interpreter.
Nextgen - An extension of Java and GJ to support polymophic methods while perserving static type information (no erasure). For research purposes.
OpenJava - Extensible language based on Java. A Metaobject Protocol (MOP) is the extension interface; lets programmers customize language to implement new language features, mechanisms.
Pizza - A variant of Java that adds parametric polymorphism, first-class functions, and class cases and pattern matching to the language. The compiler compiles into Java byte code so the binaries can be run on a normal JVM. [Freeware]
PolyJ - Java with support for generic programming in the form of parameterized types. Provides constrained parametric polymorphism, with advantages over some other proposals for adding genericity to Java. [Open Source, GPL]
Ptolemy II - Set of Java packages supporting heterogeneous, concurrent modeling and design. [Open Source, BDL]
Parameterized Types for Java - Technical paper reviewing PolyJ, an extension to Java allowing parameterized types. (January 1, 1997) Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.
