Just nu är de populäraste nedladdningarna på ObjectWeb, JOnAS och LomBoz. Nedan finns en kort beskrivning av respektiv projekt från deras hemsidor:

JOnAS - Home Page: "4 June 2004: JOnAS 4.1 released
This is the first JOnAS release for J2EE 1.4. It supports EJB 2.1, J2EE CA 1.5 with a JMS connector for JORAM, JACC 1.0, it embeds Tomcat 5 or Jetty 5, the J2EE management model is exposed through the MEJB. JOnAS 4.1 now integrates JOTM as transation manager and provides a new classloader hierarchy. A lightweight database is now embedded within JOnAS, making it a ready to use application server, at least for 'non db intensive' applications. This version also provides major bug fixes, see details in the history. It has to be noted that this version is still not J2EE Certified, the process of passing the Sun J2EE Certification is under way."

"Lomboz is a free eclipse plugin for the J2EE developers. It is a tool with a simple philosphy: "No magic tricks". Lomboz is integrated with many popular open source J2EE tools such as: Jasper, XDoclet, Axis and Ant. And naturally eclipse and the eclipse java development toolkit JDT. "

Eclipse och ObjectWeb har initierat ett konsortium runt utvecklingsstöd för webb-verktyg, vars syfte beskrivs så här på
projektets sida:

"The Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project will initially focus on infrastructure for tools used to build applications for standards-based Web and Java runtime environments. (See diagram for illustration.) Outside the project's scope, at least at first, will be support for vendor-specific application architectures, such as ASP.Net and ColdFusion, or for extensions not backed by the JCP, such as Apache Struts. This can be re-evaluated later according to user needs and contributor availability and may lead to the creation of a new subproject. "
