Zen Simulation of robot finding kitten

In this simulation, you play the part of robot. Your task is to complete the simulation by finding kitten, as is your destiny, and indeed your wont. You (robot) are represented by the # character, and you move around with the arrow keys touching things. If the thing you touch is kitten, you get a cute little animation (which was cuter in the DOS version) and the simulation ends. Otherwise, you get a brief description of what it is you touched.

libcommons-exec-java

Java library to reliably execute external processes from within the JVM

Executing external processes from Java is a well-known problem area. It is inherently platform dependent and requires the developer to know and test for platform specific behaviors, for example using cmd.exe on Windows or limited buffer sizes causing deadlocks. The JRE support for this is very limited, albeit better with the new Java SE 1.5 ProcessBuilder class.

libiscwt-java

abstractions and Java implementations for rendering PDF

To built a flexible PDF rendering one first needed some basics functionality to deal with fonts, images and general platform abstractions. The result is isCWT. It contains all abstraction and implementations needed for rendering PDF that are not related to PDF itself. This library is built and used primarily for jPod Renderer, so one is likely to miss some features when using it in another context.
