The Java Tools Community Newsletter Issue 202 introduces three interesting new projects: scalalab, zipsync, and alefpp. scalalab The scalalab project: aims to provide an efficient scientific programming environment for the Java Virtual Machine. The scripting language is based on the Scala programming language enhanced with high level scientific operators and with an integrated environment that provides a Matlab-like working style. Also, all the huge libraries of Java scientific code can be easily accessible. At the project's core is the ScalaSci scripting engine, which resolves method calls at compile time. In testing, the scripting code has accomplished speeds close to native Java, and about 20-40 times faster than equivalent Matlab .m scripts. An initial version of scalalab is currently available for download. The project uses the BSD license. zipsync The zipsync project provides a development tool that: synchronizes the contents of zip/.war/.ear files on two different servers to minimize upload times. Very useful when you are repetitively uploading or downloading the same zip file, yet that file is mostly the same as the last transfer. This tool just transfers the parts that have changed and syncs the content of the zip file. The tool is similar to the ...
