» Bali
   Java with a spoonful of syntactic sugar: proposed set of additions to make Java terser and safer. Terseness makes languages easier to read, write, maintain. Ideas from Abundance (Byte Magazine Oct 1986), Eiffel, Pascal, Delphi, Smalltalk, PL/I, Algol-68,

» GJ: Generic Java
   Support for generics. Superset of the Java programming language. Compatible with existing libraries. [Freeware]
   http://www.cis.unisa.edu.au/~pizza/gj/

» JJ
   Simplified subset of Java (supersedes Jr), and online environment for learning programming: simple, made for beginners, includes assertions and Design by Contract from Bertrand Meyer and Eiffel; class tested over 2 years, free accounts available.

» Jass
   Java with assertions, spoken: jazz, like the music. Improvement of JaWA language extension. Gives Java the concepts of Design by Contract from Bertrand Meyer, and Eiffel, and extends them with new features. [Open Source, GPL]
   http://csd.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~jass/

» JavaParty
   A minimal extension to Java easing distributed parallel programming of cluster computers. A source code transformation automatically generates a distributed pure Java program based on RMI or KaRMI.

» Javassist
   Supports load-time and runtime behavioural reflection in Java by allowing classes to be modified by Java code as they are loaded in. [Freeware, source available]
   http://www.csg.is.titech.ac.jp/~chiba/javassist/

» MetaJ
   A generic protocol-based self-applicative interpreter for Java. Revolves around a generic reification procedure which can be used to reify any class of the interpreter.
   http://www.emn.fr/x-info/sudholt/research/metaj/

» OpenJava
   Extensible language based on Java. A Metaobject Protocol (MOP) is the extension interface; lets programmers customize language to implement new language features, mechanisms.

» Parameterized Types for Java
   Technical paper reviewing PolyJ, an extension to Java allowing parameterized types.
   http://www.pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/popl97/popl97.html

» Pizza
   A variant of Java that adds parametric polymorphism, first-class functions, and class cases and pattern matching to the language. The compiler compiles into Java byte code so the binaries can be run on a normal JVM. [Freeware]
   http://pizzacompiler.sourceforge.net/

» PolyJ
   Java with support for generic programming in the form of parameterized types. Provides constrained parametric polymorphism, with advantages over some other proposals for adding genericity to Java. [Open Source, GPL]
   http://www.pmg.lcs.mit.edu/polyj/

» Ptolemy II
   Set of Java packages supporting heterogeneous, concurrent modeling and design. [Open Source, BDL]
   http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/index.htm

» The Java Modeling Language (JML)
   A behavioral interface specification language that can be used to specify the behavior of Java modules.
   http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/~leavens/JML/

» jContractor
   Supports Design By Contract in Java. Discovers "contracts" during class loading and instruments the class bytecodes on-the-fly to check run-time contract violations. [Apache Open Source Licence]
