Allows editing of any size file in hexadecimal, decimal and ASCII. A great tool that allows you to edit and analyze the contents for either the data or resource fork of any type of file. 68K, PPC and Carbon run on MacOS 7-9 and X.

SpecTcl is a WYSIWYG GUI-Builder for Tcl/Tk, with sibblings for generating code in Perl, Java, Python & Ruby. It runs on all platforms where Tcl/Tk runs. It is simple and quick to use, yet still powerful when you know your Tcl/Tk.

4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports about 95% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation, pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, enumerations, structures, suspended execution, recursion, include files, etc. It comes with an RPN calculator, BASIC interpreter, line editor, preprocessor, compiler, decompiler, C-source generator, a virtual machine, and a multitasking environment.

Druid is a GUI tool for database build and management. Users can add/change/delete DB objects (tables, fields, etc). Druid generates for you: SQL scripts, docs in XHTML, PDF, DocBook, etc; code in C, C++ & Java Beans even for JDO and support Castor & OJB

SMC takes a state machine stored in a .sm file and generates a State pattern in 14 programming languages. Includes: default transitions, transition args, transition guards, push/pop transitions and Entry/Exit actions. See User Manual for more info.

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.

DataDraw is a feature rich database generator for high performance C applications. DataDraw gives your C application a high performance object-oriented framework at speeds that beat hand coded C.

Classdesc is a system for adding reflection to C++, ie the ability to query an object's structure at runtime.

A component based programming framework. This project is aimed to support various target frameworks. A wxWidgets based GUI application is the major sample which also provides rapid database GUI design with UML import and export (db reverse engineering).

Object Tree, Virtual Machine and Compiler for Concatenative Languages, in a shared library - [This project is obsolete, and has been superseeded by the XCL suit, available at http://www.varkhan.net/software/xcl]

siggen is a cool email signature generator for encrypted ansi c (confused), brainf*ck, ... signatures. Use it in combination with vi(m), emacs, mutt, pine, or what ever. (tested on Solaris, Linux and Windoze). Optimized only for geeks :-)

ObjectBuilder is a C++ CASE tool (CASE, refactoring, documentation generator). It lets you create, manipulate and navigate classes, class relations, class members and class methods at a high level of abstraction.

OpenC++ is C++ frontend library (parser+typechecker+DOM/MOP) and source-to-source translator. OpenC++ enables development of C++ tools, language extensions, domain specific compiler optimizations and runtime metaobject protocols.

Generating the files of an application with the help of a DSL (domain specific language) is very nice . . . provided the development of the DSL itself is not more complex than the application development itself. This workbench is based on the JSON templates and a so-called description file that lists the files to generate. It requires thus a minimum of knowledge and effort to manage the templates and the source specification. It provides a powerful multi-file editor that highlights the cross-references between the templates, the JSON object, the description list and the resulting files. For example, a simple click in an application file allows a developer to see where the clicked symbol does come from. The workbench can be used as a JSON based generator, but a DSL based on Xtext and Xtend can be generated from the JSON object with a single click. The tool can be used to support model driven development.

AsDoclet can be used to generate actionscript files out of Java sources. Such a tool is essentially useful for RIA and Client/Server applications where value objects are transmitted between server and client as serialized data.

A self-contained and portable build system derived from the traditional 4.4BSD system. It implements Bourne configure script generation, concurrent building and it can compile IDE project files. It is portable to most operating systems and make flavors.

The Byte Code Engineering Library (formerly known as JavaClass) is intended to give users a convenient possibility to analyze, create, and manipulate (binary) Java class files . Classes are represented by updatable objects.

A universal parsing tool and source code generator for generative programming. It extracts useful information by parsing (BNF parser generator) and generates source code by several techniques, by interpreting a scripting language for flexibility.

A flexible code generation framework providing the infrastructure for developers to build their own code generators.

Cress (Communication Representation Employing Systematic Specification) allows graphical description of a wide variety of services such as in data communications/telecommunications, but Cress is not limited to this. The approach allows services to be described graphically as (work)flows of activities. Cress diagrams are automatically translated into formal languages for rigorous analysis and verification, and are also automatically translated into implementation languages for deployment and validation. Cress aims to make service design as easy as possible without requiring specialist development knowledge. It simplifies service creation to drawing diagrams, clicking buttons and defining a few tool parameters. All key functions of Cress can be controlled from the Chive diagram editor. Cress is written using portable and widely used languages (Perl and Java). It can be extended by a developer for other kinds of services that can be characterised by activity flows.

The Doodle project aims to provide a language to easily describe Origami diagrams and produces a ready-to-print document. Doodle will free creators from diagramming constraints and increase their capability to share their creations.

FGL is a tightly-integrated self-contained development & execution environment utilizing best-of-breed programming tools and methodologies, optimized web/application server, highly-scalable relational/object database, and robust extension interface.

Flavor is a language developed for describing (in a formal way) any coded audio-visual or general multimedia bitstream. It comes with a translator for automatic generation of C++/Java code, which can be used to read/write/trace the described bitstream.

Formitable is a PHP class which can output HTML forms from MySQL database tables. The table is analyzed in order to output a form which uses the best input type for each field. The forms are customizable and data is inserted into the table on submission.
