JADE Project Reborn As Javolution And jScience

dautelle writes "Because of trademark issues we had to rename our Java Addition to Default Environment (JADE) project. We did a little more than that, we created two new projects with additional features and capabilities: Javolution (javolution.org) and jScience (jscience.org). Java developers, please update your bookmarks. You may also read the 'Top 10 reasons' why you should consider using Javolution in your current Java project or how you can take part in this immense undertaking that the jScience project represents."

Summary of these technologies

[BlueGecko]

For those wondering: Javolution provides a set of classes that replace some of the core JDK classes with ones that run far faster and more efficiently. It also brings several key Java interfaces (such as Serializable or the Java 5 collection classes) to all available JDKs, even the miniature J2ME 1.1. These classes seem to work with or without garbage collection, as they have a custom object recycler. jScience, meanwhile, provides various common scientific and mathematic capabilities, such as linear equation solvers and efficient matrix operations. Both are open-source under the LGPL.

Come on, Slashdot. It's not that hard to include this much description in the story.
