Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs.

Nomulus is a production-grade, open-source domain registry platform used to operate top-level domains (TLDs). It implements the core registry protocols—EPP for registrar interactions, WHOIS/RDAP for public data access—and manages the lifecycle of domain objects, hosts, and contacts. The system is built to scale and to enforce policy: pricing rules, reserved names, premium tiers, grace periods, and automated renewals are modeled explicitly. It integrates with DNS provisioning, data escrow, and billing so you can run a compliant registry end-to-end rather than stitching together separate services. Operators get admin tools for reporting, manual adjustments, and policy configuration, while registrars interact through standards-compliant channels. Nomulus treats registries as serious infrastructure: audited flows, durable storage, and clear extension points for custom policies and TLD-specific behavior.

Zuul is an L7 application gateway that offers many capabilities, including dynamic routing, monitoring, security, resiliency and more. It is used in the backend of the Netflix streaming service as a front door for all requests from devices and web sites. Zuul is ideal for cases like this where API traffic volume and diversity can become overwhelming and cause production issues to arise suddenly and without warning. Zuul has a broad range of filters that enable it to perform multiple functions quickly and apply functionality to services like Netflix. These functions include security authentication, dynamic routing, stress testing, load shedding and more.

RSS reader, multimedia manager and TV series manager

Use this suite of Application Programming Interface (API) platforms to share web content across multiple channels. Mobile and tablet applications, widgets, and web pages may use the APIs to deliver and update content. The APIs allow content reuse and reduce development costs and product time-to-market. The APIs are available as .NET or Java instances. For more information, see the ReadMe.txt file in the downloadable zip archive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs office (ASPA) developed these APIs in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). The CDC, FDA/CTP, HHS/ASPA, and the National Institute of Health’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH/NIAID) use these platforms. https://syndication.hhs.gov http://tools.cdc.gov http://tools.niaid.nih.gov http://tools.fda.gov

TinyREST allows a Java programmer to easily create a REST server without having to install a J2EE server. Creating a new server is as easy as copying the service jar, setting up a configuration file and writing your own service handler class. The resulting project can be made to start up as a service. Annotations can now be used to write handler class and methods. JDBC database access as well as file system access is allowed from the service.
