With 50+ client generators, you can easily generate code to interact with any server which exposes an OpenAPI document. Maintainers of APIs may also automatically generate and distribute clients as part of official SDKs. Each client supports different options and features, but all templates can be replaced with your own Mustache-based templates. Getting started with server development can be tough, especially if you're evaluating technologies. We can reduce the burden when you bring your own OpenAPI document. Some generators support Inversion of Control, allowing you to iterate on design via your OpenAPI document without worrying about blowing away your entire domain layer when you regenerate code. Ever wanted to iteratively design a MySQL database, but writing table declarations was too tedious? OpenAPI documents allow you to convert the metadata about your API into some other format.

Swagger-Codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate documentation, API clients and server stubs in different languages by parsing your OpenAPI / Swagger definition. Simplify API development for users, teams, and enterprises with the Swagger open source and professional toolset. Find out how Swagger can help you design and document your APIs at scale. The power of Swagger tools starts with the OpenAPI Specification, the industry standard for RESTful API design. Individual tools to create, update and share OpenAPI definitions with consumers. SwaggerHub is the platform solution to support OpenAPI workflows at scale. Swagger open source and pro tools have helped millions of API developers, teams, and organizations deliver great APIs. If the OpenAPI/Swagger spec is obtained from an untrusted source, please make sure you've reviewed the spec before using Swagger Codegen to generate the API client, server stub or documentation as code injection may occur.

Java provides the concurrent library that simplifies concurrent programming, but this is hard to learn and visualize. This project is a series of animations each illustrating the coding and usage of a component in the java concurrent library.

Allows to generate a wiki (interlinked HTML files) from a bunch of XML formatted files. It also allows to add a Help-system to a Swing or JavaFX application. Also it is also possible to generate a PDF, Word (docx), or epub document rather than a wiki. The tool also provides a visual editor to edit the wiki. The project also support both the Mediawiki and Markdown syntax.

This Java application serves to transform W3C XML Schema instances into interactive diagrams in SVG format. The diagram represents structure of XML files and provides information about individual items – elements and attributes.

A reStructuredText editor plugin for Eclipse. This project aims to provide a good support for Sphinx documentation generation in the Eclipse IDE.

SonicReader is used to view and save reports of the internals of a Sonicwall Configuration file. This is useful for those people that wish to know the settings within their saved Sonicwall Configs. I have no affiliation with Dell Sonicwall. Please do not contact Dell Sonicwall regarding the use of this program.

StatSVN is a metrics-analysis tool for charting software evolution through analysis of Subversion source repositories.

ThManager is a tool for creating and visualizing knowledge organization models, such as thesauri, classification schemes, glosaries and other types of controlled vocabulary in SKOS format

DEP4E integrates DocBook XML and DocBook XSL into Eclipse IDE to create, edit and process DocBook projects.

Free video screencam tutorials for Eclipse and Java. Includes "Eclipse and Java for Total Beginners", "Using the Eclipse Workbench", "Introducing Persistence", and "Using the Debugger".

Piggydb is a flexible and scalable knowledge building platform that supports a heuristic or bottom-up approach to discover new concepts or ideas based on your input. You can begin with using it as a flexible outliner, diary or notebook, and as your database grows, Piggydb helps you to shape or elaborate your own knowledge. Piggydb is a Web application provided as a self-contained package that contains a Web server and database engine. With Piggydb, you can create highly structured content by connecting knowledge fragments to each other to build a network structure, which is more flexible and expressive than a tree structure. Fragments can also be classified using hierarchical tags.

Texlipse is a plugin that adds Latex editing support for the popular Eclipse Java IDE. Key features include: syntax highlight, command completion, bibliography completion, outline navigation and automatic building.

The ThoutReader is a cross-platform multi-document help system that allows users to browse, search, bookmark, and append documentation packaged in an extensible XML format. It is written in Java and runs on any platform that supports Java 1.4.

This tool generates automated API documentation for your source code. The markup is similar to Javadoc (TM), but all programming languages are supported, not only Java. Also somewhat compatible to Doxygen(TM). Several HTML output options are available. Also LaTeX and Epub output is supported. Command line and GUI are both available. Needs Java SDK 1.4 or higher installed on your system. No external library is used in this project, therefore no danger by Log4j library bug. Version 1.0.15, introduced an optional Graphical User Interface (GUI). For support contact: AutoDoc@Enache.de
