  3. Jest

    Discontinued Elasticsearch Java Rest Client. (by searchbox-io)

    Jest is no longer being developed - should probably be removed.

  4. Javet

    Javet is Java + V8 (JAVa + V + EighT). It is an awesome way of embedding Node.js and V8 in Java.

    They should add a "scripting" section. There's cool new projects being started in this area like Javet which allows you to embed Node.js and a standalone V8 too. Nashorn and Rhino could be added to that list too despite not being so new.

  5. Kalium

    Discontinued Java binding to the Networking and Cryptography (NaCl) library with the awesomeness of libsodium

    https://github.com/abstractj/kalium is archived

  6. indexer4j

    Simple full text indexing and searching library for Java

    https://github.com/haeungun/indexer4j was last touched 3 years ago, so pretty dead

  7. JADE

    a pug implementation written in Java (formerly known as jade)

    https://github.com/neuland/jade4j still exists as Pug4j, but the link points to the old repository still

  8. initializr

    A quickstart generator for Spring projects

    Maven has website from where you can get dependency. Add it in POM file in any Maven project. If you are doing API developement go to https://start.spring.io/ and create maven Ppring Boot project.

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
