OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTION
EclipseJCDE (http://eclipse-jcde.sourceforge.net): Eclipse Java Card Development
Environment is a set of eclipse plugins that wraps the Java Card Development Kit provided
by Sun Microsystems to provide a visual java card development environment that automates
many of the steps required to develop a Java Card application. A team in Orange Labs/R&D
(France Telecom) has developed extensions to the project and created a new project
partially based on its Source code (http://izynfc.sourceforge.net)
JThread (http://code.google.com/p/javascript-threading): Most of the current browsers run
all javascript functions/loops as a single thread causing the browser to freeze while
executing a long running loop or function, and may cause the browser to display the
"Unresponsive script" message. so JThread attempts to solve those issues.
