    It's still a useless bit of fluff - based on observations about the language and not projects that are actually using it.

    Small list of open-source Java projects:

    • Jakarta - the Apache Software Foundation's primary Java development site. Most notable are their Tomcat and Ant projects.
    • Xerces - a pure-Java XML parser (there's a C++ version too) - also by the Apache Software Foundation.
    • jEdit - pure Java text editor. Very powerful and easily extensible with Java plugins.
    • Over 4000 projects at SourceForge.
    • Freenet - the idea behind the network has gotten a lot of publicity, it's client is written in Java.

    There's quite a community based around Java - I would suggest people start looking at those aspects of its cover.
