Brains2B.ORG

This site is dedicated to open source Java software. Most of the components and applications you will find here where written in the course of a couple of years working with Java and where found very helpful by… well me for the most part. However most of it was and is successfully used in other open source or commercial software, some of which is owned by brains2b, among which the StrongHold product.

By supplying this software as open source I hope it will prevent some ‘reinventing of the wheel’ that still seems very customary in software development. You will find different components you can use in your own projects that will hopefully save time and effort and can be adapted for your own needs. Next to this there are some applications I have written and are just handy, or fun and would otherwise be collecting dust.

If you do adapt components and applications found here please give back to the community by sharing them here or elsewhere. In the near future Brains2B.ORG will try to find owners for components, other then me. While some projects are not in the front of my mind, but might occupy someone else’s. If you contribute or want to contribute please let me know.

Components

At the moment you will find only a small part of my projects here. I’m doing my best to publish everything, but some of the projects still need some work, which basically means I need to write javadoc, unit tests and other documentation for it. I will however try to update this site regularly (I promise) with new projects until the entire backlog (48 projects) is gone.

Beneath a list of projects with featured software. A list of all components can be found on the left.
