Relevant Personal Experience

JerkBot (http://sand-irc.sourceforge.net/), a command-based IRC Bot with a plug-in architecture built on top

of OSGI (Apache Felix). Administration and commands are performed through JMX. The bot can :

o Learn new words or de nitions and provide a lookup on its knowledge database

o Search Javadocs

o Watch SVN repositories for code changes

o Display the weather summary for few cities across the world

o Support new administrative users and has access restrictions built-in for administrative tasks

o Tell random quotes from Homer Simpson, Chuck Norris

o etc.

VFSJFileChooser (http://vfsj lechooser.sourceforge.net/), a Java le dialog for local/remote les, ~ 6000

downloads. The standard Swing le dialog doesn t allow browsing remote le systems easily as too much

code is hidden or tied to java.io.File API. Below are the main bene ts of the program :

o In addition to local lesystem browsing, VFSJFileChooser supports virtually any lesystem that can be

handled by Apache Commons VFS, such as : WebDav, SFTP, FTP, Samba.

o VFSJFileChooser didn t inherit weird bugs of the standard Java le chooser under Windows (dialog

may freeze if there are many zip les on the user s desktop, other bugs without x).

o Easy integration in any application that needs to support multiple lesystems

o Almost the same API usage as in the standard Java Swing le browser.

XPontus XML Editor (http://xpontus.sourceforge.net/), a Java Swing XML editor, ~ 35 000+ downloads. It s a

modular application with pluggable components (JPF). The XML editor is text-oriented with the following

main features :

o XPath search (XPath 1.0 and 2.0)

o Syntax highlighting (XML related and few other programming languages)

o Code completion based on DTD or XML Schema introspection

o Batch XML validation as well as single XML le validation

o HTML tidying

o XML Schema generation

o DTD documentation generation

o Basic syntax checking (well-formed documents)
