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. -

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. -

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. -

Gson
A Java serialization/deserialization library to convert Java Objects
Gson is a Java library developed by Google that allows conversion between Java objects and JSON. It enables serialization and deserialization of Java classes to and from JSON format, handling complex and generic types, nulls, custom naming policies, and more. Gson is lightweight, easy to use, and does not require annotation-based configuration, making it a popular choice for JSON processing in Java applications. -

Android Layout Engine
A JSON based LayoutInflater for Android
Proteus is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Android’s LayoutInflater; but unlike the compiled XML layouts bundled in the APK, Proteus inflates layouts at runtime. With Proteus, you can control your Apps layout from the backend (no WebViews). Forget the boilerplate code to findViewById, cast it to a TextView, and then setText(). Proteus has runtime data bindings and formatters. Plugin in your own custom views and attributes and functions to flavour proteus to your requirements. -

JMX Exporter
A process for exposing JMX Beans via HTTP for Prometheus consumption
JMX to Prometheus exporter: a collector that can configurable scrape and expose mBeans of a JMX target. This exporter is intended to be run as a Java Agent, exposing a HTTP server and serving metrics of the local JVM. It can be also run as a standalone HTTP server and scrape remote JMX targets, but this has various disadvantages, such as being harder to configure and being unable to expose process metrics (e.g., memory and CPU usage). Running the exporter as a Java agent is strongly encouraged. -

Zeebe
Distributed Workflow Engine for Microservices Orchestration
Automate processes at scale with unprecedented performance and resilience. Zeebe is the workflow and decision engine that powers Camunda Platform 8. Zeebe’s cloud-native design provides the performance, resilience, and security enterprises need to future-proof their process orchestration efforts. Zeebe distributes data across all brokers in a cluster with storage directly on the server filesystem. If one broker goes down, another can replace it with no data loss. This pre-configured replication mechanism ensures that Camunda Platform 8 can recover from machine or software failure with no human interaction, no data loss and minimal downtime. -

International Components for Unicode
The home of the ICU project source code
ICU is a mature, widely used set of C/C++ and Java libraries providing Unicode and Globalization support for software applications. ICU is widely portable and gives applications the same results on all platforms and between C/C++ and Java software. ICU is released under a nonrestrictive open-source license that is suitable for use with both commercial software and with other open-source or free software. Convert text data to or from Unicode and nearly any other character set or encoding. ICU's conversion tables are based on charset data collected by IBM over the course of many decades and is the most complete available anywhere. Compare strings according to the conventions and standards of a particular language, region or country. ICU's collation is based on the Unicode Collation Algorithm plus locale-specific comparison rules from the Common Locale Data Repository, a comprehensive source for this type of data. -

JNativeHook
Global keyboard and mouse listeners for Java
JNativeHook is a library to provide global keyboard and mouse listeners for Java. This will allow you to listen for global shortcuts or mouse motion that would otherwise be impossible using pure Java. To accomplish this task, JNativeHook leverages platform-dependent native code through Java's native interface to create low-level system-wide hooks and deliver those events to your application. -

VisualVM
VisualVM is an All-in-One Java Troubleshooting Tool
VisualVM is a visual tool integrating command line JDK tools and lightweight profiling capabilities. Designed for both development and production time use. Use Apache Ant 1.9.9 or above and Oracle JDK 8 to build VisualVM from this repository. VisualVM monitors and troubleshoots applications running on Java 1.4+ from many vendors using various technologies including jvmstat, JMX, Serviceability Agent (SA) and Attach API. 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.
