CLIPS is a forward-chaining rule-based programming language written in C that also provides procedural and object-oriented programming facilities.

Community Z Tools Project (CZT): Tools for editing, typechecking and animating Z specifications and related notations. Includes a Java framework for building formal methods tools. NOTE: development of CZT has now moved to GitHub: https://github.com/community-z-users/czt

JamVM is a new Java Virtual Machine conforming to the JVM specification edition 2 (blue book). It is extremely small - stripped on PowerPC ~110K, Intel 80K. However, unlike other small VMs it supports the full spec, inc. object finalisation and JNI.

Agent Factory is an open and extensible framework for developing and deploying agent systems that provides a FIPA-based distributed Run-Time Environment that supports the deployment of diverse agent types, ranging from bespoke, reactive to deliberative.

The PHP script engine for Java. --- Run PHP applications within any J2EE server or servlet engine and/or connect script engines like PHP with Java or .NET back ends efficiently.

Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.

In this project we aim to develop scheme libraries for developing various web applications (especially servlets and xml-based web services). Our approach is to use jscheme (an open source implementation of scheme in Java) as the core language which allow

Bean Sheet is an interpreted Java spreadsheet. At its core is Bean Shell, an open source Java interpreter. The potential of marrying a Java interpreter with a spreadsheet allows a single document to be a powerful application in its own right.

SISC is an extensible Java based interpreter of the algorithmic language Scheme. SISC uses modern interpretation techniques, and handily outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order of magnitude).

Tcl/Java consists of two pieces of software. Jacl is an implementation of a Tcl interpreter written entirely in Java. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that provides access to Java from inside Tcl. One can prototype Java code using Tcl, and much more.

ACDK - Artefaktur Component Development Kit - is a platform independent C++-framework similar to Java or C#/.NET for generating distributed and scriptable components and applications.

DaVinci Concurrente es un lenguaje orientado a la enseñanza de la programación estructurada para fortalecer los cimientos base de su aprendizaje, tanto en la etapa inicial de la programación secuencial como en la introducción a los conceptos básicos de la programación concurrente. Permite la visualización de la ejecución a través de una ciudad en la cual se puede controlar uno o más robots. Cada robot puede realizar diferentes acciones (por ejemplo tomar flores en la intersección que se encuentra).

Jason is a fully-fledged interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak, a BDI agent-oriented logic programming language, and is implemented in Java. Using JADE a multi-agent system can be distributed over a network effortlessly. This project was moved to https://jason-lang.github.io

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version

Alef++, is a new programming language like Perl and Lisp syntax, with a many changing in classical languages designs, her specification designed to be implemented for any VM, by default can access to any private/protected/default Java fields or methods.

URBI: Universal Robotic Body Interface. URBI is a scripted command language used to control robots (AIBO, pioneer,...). It is a robot-independant API based on a client/server architecture. Liburbi C++/Java/Matlab are available here. Forum available at ht

JoSQL (Java Objects SQL) provides SQL capabilities for querying, ordering and grouping of collections of Java objects (POJOs). It allows a SQL statement to be applied to the collection of objects and the matching set returned, ordered and grouped.

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.

eXist-db is a native XML database featuring efficient, index-based XQuery processing, extensions for keyword search, XUpdate support, XSLT support, XForms support, REST and tight integration with existing XML development tools. Moved to Github - https://www.github.com/exist-db/exist
