HPPC: High Performance Primitive Collections for Java

HPPC: High Performance Primitive Collections for Java
HPPC provides template-generated implementations of typical collections, such as lists, sets and maps, for all Java primitive types. The primary driving force behind HPPC is optimization for highest performance and memory efficiency.

There are a few projects implementing collections over primitive types, including fastutil, PCJ, GNU Trove, Apache Mahout (ported COLT collections), Apache Primitive Collections. Some of them are released under the LGPL license, which many commercial companies tend to avoid at all costs; other are no longer maintained or complete. Most of the projects tend to write tightly encapsulated code with no access to private internals, implement the API of standard Java packages and strive for fast error-recovery. While these are all good programming practices, they are not always practical. In many computationally-intensive applications, access to the collection class' internals is crucial for writing highest-performance application code.

Efficient Java Matrix Library (EJML)

efficient-java-matrix-library - Project Hosting on Google Code
Efficient Java Matrix Library (EJML) is a linear algebra library for manipulating dense matrices. Its design goals are; 1) to be as computationally efficient as possible for both small and large matrices, and 2) to be accessible to both novices and experts. These goals are accomplished by dynamically selecting the best algorithms to use at runtime and by designing a clean API. EJML is free, written in 100% Java and has been released under an LGPL license.

Diffkit - diff rdms/csv tables

DiffKit is an application, and a framework, for comparing two tables of data, field-by-field. The tables can come from any of a number of sources, such as an RDBMS or CSV file, and DiffKit is able to mix different kinds of sources in the same diff operation. DiffKit is like the Unix diff utility, but for tables instead of lines of text.

Spring Social

Spring Social | SpringSource.org
Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework to enable the development of social-ready applications. With Spring Social you can create applications that interact with various social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TripIt, giving the users of your application a more personal experience.

The main features of Spring Social include:

* A set of social network templates for interacting with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, TripIt, and Greenhouse.
* An OAuth-aware request factory for signing RestTemplate requests with OAuth authorization details.
* A web argument resolver for extracting Facebook user ID and access token information in a Spring MVC controller.

Spring Social is used by Greenhouse for all of its social network integration. Have a look at the Greenhouse source code for examples of Spring Social in action.
