jcouchdb [1] is a java5 couchdb driver using the svenson JSON library.

It offers features to support the full range from totally dynamic parsing to parsing into concrete java POJOs, including a mix in between.

jcouchdb is in the early stages of development but there’s a test suite proving that it does at least most of the couchdb operations.

Jcouchdb is released under BSD license.

XMLUnit [1] for Java provides two JUnit extension classes, XMLAssert and XMLTestCase, and a set of supporting classes (e.g. Diff, DetailedDiff, Transform, SimpleXpathEngine, Validator, NodeTest) that allow assertions to be made about:

• The differences between two pieces of XML
• The outcome of transforming a piece of XML using XSLT
• The evaluation of an XPath expression on a piece of XML
• The validity of a piece of XML
• Individual nodes in a piece of XML that are exposed by DOM Traversal

XMLUnit for Java can also treat HTML content (even badly-formed HTML) as valid XML to allow these assertions to be made about the content of web pages too.

Small hint from me: If you set up Postfix to relay your mails and your relay host does not have an MX record (anymore), mailq has a lot of mails on standby and you see something like:
Jul 14 12:45:39 myhostname postfix/smtp[2349]: 74FBF30501:
to= relay=none, delay=3944,
status=deferred (Name service error for name=recip.domain
type=MX: Host not found, try again)
And found this FAQ on Posfix.org and you say: “Yeah, the FAQ is right but so what now?”. Just boot your VI editor and open $ vi /etc/postfix/main.cf and change relayhost = smtp.myhostname.org:587 to relayhost = [smtp.myhostname.org]:587 and perform /etc/init.d/posfitx reload so Postfix will not looking for a valid MX record anymore. After this, go to the important work again…
