| ACE | The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment is a freely available, open-source object-oriented (OO) framework that implements many core patterns for concurrent communication software. | GPL compliant? | Developers | I did a package with the build service http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/EmmeG/ Feedback are welcome |
| ALD | Assembly Language Debugger | Tiago Gasiba | tool for debugging executable programs at the assembly level
Hmm, I can use gdb with "si" "disp /i $eip" just fine for single stepping in assembler mode. is there anything special in ALD which gdb is not able to do? -Msmeissn | |
| Amaya | W3C's own all-in-one web editor / browser. Maintained for over 10 years. Features support for HTML, XHTML, XML, MathML, CSS, SVG and other emerging web technologies. Updated regularly and fully cross-platform. | GPL? Cannot find any overt info about this in the program or on website, but is open source. | Website developers, especially standards-compliant ones. | With the lack of development of NVU / Kompozer / Composer and the potential complexity / bugginess of Quanta+, Amaya is a superb and very capable alternative web design tool. It helps users to create perfect, standards-compliant code, featuring collaboration tools and all regular formatting with both WYSIWYG and source views, and it even doubles up as a web browser - ideal for checking web pages as you're designing them. Binary rpm packages already available for SuSE and other distros. A crucial omission from current SuSE version. Many Windows / Mac web designers find the lack of a suitable and powerful Linux alternative program one of the major barriers to Linux adoption. This could solve those issues. |
| Aptana | Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic web applications. Highlights include the following features:
| Eclipse Public License, v1.0 | Web Developers | |
| ArgoUML | ArgoUML is the leading open source UML modeling tool and includes support for all standard UML 1.4 diagrams. | BSD | Oliver Pabst |

| bugzilla.org | Popular software issue tracking system written in Perl. Ran transparently as CGI script on top of a MySQL databse (typically). | GPL, FDL | Developers | Formerly Bugziila entry #47658
This is a massive web application, which you usually need to customize heavily. So a distribution inclusion is difficult at best. -Msmeissn |
| BIEW | Binary vIEW project | GPL v2 | multiplatform portable viewer of binary files with built-in editor in binary, hexadecimal and disassembler modes. | |
| BlueJ | IDE for learning and teaching object orientated programming with Java. | Own license / unknown | This is a lightweight Java-IDE for beginners and those who don't like big development environments. |

| DBusSharp | dbus-sharp is a C# implementation of D-Bus. It's often referred to as "managed D-Bus" to avoid confusion with existing bindings (which wrap libdbus). | MIT/X11 | Developers, Users | This is an actively developed, pure C# implementation of DBus. It replaces the old and unmaintained libdbus wrapper (package dbus-1-mono). At least 1 package (tomboy) already uses it, but ships its own copy because distributors don't want to package it. This should be changed => It should be added as a standalone package and used by other packages |

| Gambas | vB,.NET Compiler lang. type | GPL | Devoloper | Well, Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, like Visual Basic™ (but it is NOT a clone !) With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI, access MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into many languages, create network applications easily, make 3D OpenGL applications, and so on... Its a shame that such a project were banned on the new releases. |

--- qemu is working fine, not sure if it uses its internal compiler version or gcc 4.x already. So I see no need for gcc 3.4. -Msmeissn |

| NetBeans | NetBeans is one of the two leading OpenSource Java IDEs (the other being Eclipse, which SUSE includes).

NetBeans 5.0 or 5.5 RPMs are currently(2006-11-11) not in Opensuse 10.2. It would also be fine, to get NetBeans Addons like J2ME included. |
