From version 12.0 in January 2023, you need to visit the Saxonica site at http://www.saxonica.com/ for the latest information and releases.

CLIPS is a forward-chaining rule-based programming language written in C that also provides procedural and object-oriented programming facilities.

JamVM is a new Java Virtual Machine conforming to the JVM specification edition 2 (blue book). It is extremely small - stripped on PowerPC ~110K, Intel 80K. However, unlike other small VMs it supports the full spec, inc. object finalisation and JNI.

The PHP script engine for Java. --- Run PHP applications within any J2EE server or servlet engine and/or connect script engines like PHP with Java or .NET back ends efficiently.

Tcl/Java consists of two pieces of software. Jacl is an implementation of a Tcl interpreter written entirely in Java. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that provides access to Java from inside Tcl. One can prototype Java code using Tcl, and much more.

In this project we aim to develop scheme libraries for developing various web applications (especially servlets and xml-based web services). Our approach is to use jscheme (an open source implementation of scheme in Java) as the core language which allow

Lightweight, fast, Java-centric Lua interpreter written for JME and JSE, with string, table, package, math, io, os, debug, coroutine & luajava libraries, JSR-223 bindings, all metatags, weak tables and unique direct lua-to-java-bytecode compiling.

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

Jason is a fully-fledged interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak, a BDI agent-oriented logic programming language, and is implemented in Java. Using JADE a multi-agent system can be distributed over a network effortlessly. This project was moved to https://jason-lang.github.io

Lua interpreter for Android written in pure Java.

Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.

NOTE: Yacas and yagy development has moved to github. The new repositories are located at https://github.com/grzegorzmazur/yacas and https://github.com/grzegorzmazur/yagy . The mailing list has been moved over to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/yacas . The downloads section at sourceforge will be kept up to date for the foreseable future. Yacas is an easy to use, general purpose computer algebra system. It uses its own programming language designed for symbolic as well as arbitrary-precision numerical computations. The system comes with a library of scripts and extensive documentation. Yagy (http://sourceforge.net/p/yagy) provides full yacas experience wrapped in a simple and intuitive graphical interface.

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version

SISC is an extensible Java based interpreter of the algorithmic language Scheme. SISC uses modern interpretation techniques, and handily outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order of magnitude).

Lsl Plus is an edit/compile/test environment for the Linden Scripting Language (LSL), implemented as an Eclipse plug-in.

Community Z Tools Project (CZT): Tools for editing, typechecking and animating Z specifications and related notations. Includes a Java framework for building formal methods tools. NOTE: development of CZT has now moved to GitHub: https://github.com/community-z-users/czt

Emulator of the ancient 8 bit microprocessor ISP-8A 500D/600D or more common "SC/MP" from National Semiconductor. The download contains all sources plus an executable Java Jar file to start right away. Some SC/MP hex dump examples are provided in directory "/etc" as well. The download also contains unit tests and some helping documentation (also in /etc). You may slow down the CPU operations, displaying the CPUs status register as LEDs, to watch the CPU working with its registers. The emulator also contains a VDU (video display unit) output / ASCII input simulation. There are some demos in /etc. And have a look to the NIBL / TINY BASIC interpreter in the TINYBASIC folder, most of the code is over 40 years old. Have fun, Theo Heinrichs

eXist-db is a native XML database featuring efficient, index-based XQuery processing, extensions for keyword search, XUpdate support, XSLT support, XForms support, REST and tight integration with existing XML development tools. Moved to Github - https://www.github.com/exist-db/exist

ESS-MODEL: The fastest and easiest to use UML reversing tool! With ESS-MODEL you can view class diagrams from your code in the time that other tools are still busy loading. Source is written in Delphi. More info: http://essmodel.sourceforge.net

Blocks is a block-oriented graphical programming language. Programming is simply a matter of dragging and dropping blocks. Blocks can be used as an education language, as an extension language for Java applications or as an autonomous script language.

Un sistema de programación abierto, modular y flexible para fomentar las siguientes disciplinas: 1) programar para una interfaz, no para una implementación (GOF); 2) diseño por contrato; y 3) desarrollo dirigido por pruebas.
