JFlash - The Pure Java Flash Player

JFlash has the aim to create a pure Java player for Macromedia .SWF flash media files wit support for J2SE and J2ME (CLDC 1.0 / MIDP 2.0).
The current J2SE version is an early ALPHA that works fine with some older .SWF files (up to version 3) and supports most of the features available for it. The J2ME variant is in a very early state, it compiles but most of the functionality isn't converted yet. After both are development versions, they are currently available in CVS only.

The next steps in further development are as simple as important: creation of support of the newer and missing Flash-tags. The current implementation itself informs about which unknown tags have been found by printing error messages. Additionally the code needs to be a litte bit more documented (in JavaDoc format) to get a nice documentation for developers out of it.

IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications.

It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers.

IzPack-generated installers only require a Java virtual machine to run.

Many companies and projects have been using IzPack over the years. Some (http://www.jboss.com/) enjoyed it so much that they even decided to use it as the basis of their own installers!
