Libraries and Tools

These pages are intended for software developers, not end-users. If you are here looking for our Open Source applications, please visit the applications page.

There are several Open Source projects available here - the following pages will give you more information about the projects, how to use them, how to get involved with their development, source code repositories, and mailing lists.

Recently we have started publishing via the Central Maven Repository, under the org.devzendo group id. See below for signing details.

For our earlier releases, you will need to enable our Maven 2 Repositories.

Frameworks and Tools

The Common Database Framework is a small Scala wrapper around Spring-JDBC and the embedded H2 database, to abstract out the common operations of creating, opening, upgrading, and closing embedded relational databases, and working with the DAO pattern. The ideas here were first expressed in part of the MiniMiser Framework, but in Java.
The Cross-Platform Launcher Plugin is a Maven plugin for generating application launchers for Windows, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu Linux, based on some elementary configuration, and a list of dependencies.

Third party Mavenisations

The Quaqua Look and Feel library

Other common libraries
