JForum secure single sign on (SSO) plug-in

JForum is an excellent open source forum written in Java. However, the SSO plug-in provided with JForum is not secure and users are encouraged to write their own solutions for this.

This download includes a plug-in for JForum which implements a secure solution based upon the SHA-1 encryption routines available in Java. It has been released with the intent of helping developers to provide a secure SSO solution when integrating with JForum under the BSD license (the same open-source license as JForum uses).

Antic: an Ant task for packaging JavaME midlets

Although comprehensive, standard Ant tasks do not provide the functionality required to package Java ME applications (Midlets). The Antic task provides this functionality and has been designed to be used in conjunction with, and to augment, the standard Ant tasks. Unlike other Java ME Ant tasks, Antic provides a single task that creates both the Jar and the Jad files in a single step, thus eliminating excessive clutter in your Ant build files.

Antic has been tested for compatibility with all major vendor's devices (e.g. Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericcson, Motorolla, etc.) and is freely available for use under the GNU General Public License.
