Rats! 1.14.2 (Default branch)

Rats! is a parser generator for C-like languages(though currently it only generates parsers in Java). It has been designed so that grammars are concise and easily extensible. To this end, grammars are organized into modules that can be easily changed by adding, removing, or modifying alternatives in individual productions and composed with each other through module parameters. Furthermore, it relies on ordered choices to avoid ambiguities, supports syntactic predicates for unlimited lookahead, and integrates lexing with parsing. Finally, it has extensive support for automatically generating abstract syntax trees, thus greatly reducing the need for explicit semantic actions.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:This release improves error reporting by generatedparsers and fixes a code generation bug.

BeanKeeper 2.5.0 (Default branch)

BeanKeeper (formerly Simple Persistence for Java) is a full featured, powerful object/relational persistence and query library. It has a unique philosophy of simpleness and ease of use: it does not require config files, annotations, code generation, code "enhancing", or any kind of tools to be used. It handles simple Java beans (or POJOs) and its query service returns lists. Despite its simpleness, under the hood the library takes care of all the necessary logic: transaction visibility, result list paging, keys and ids, table creation/modification, class relations, inheritance/polymorphism, case sensitiveness, and much more. It currently supports: Oracle, HSQLDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:The main "ids" table was removed completely, which caused a significant performance gain. A commit tracker and modification tracker deadlock condition has been fixed. Remote change events and disconnect events were added to event dispatching. Null value comparisons and SQL three-value logic related issues were fixed.
