Projects that use backport-util-concurrent

This section is just a seed. I am soliciting info about projects that use the backport to be included here. Let me know if you would like to have your project linked (<Dawid Kurzyniec, firstname.lastname@gmail.com>).

Retrotranslator

http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/

"Java bytecode transformer that translates Java classes compiled with JDK 5.0 into classes that can be run on JVM 1.4. It is a free, open-source tool based on the ASM bytecode manipulation framework and concurrency utilities backported to Java 1.4."

Glazed Lists

http://publicobject.com/glazedlists/

"Powerful and refreshingly sane API that radically simplifies the Swing programming experience. To the creators of Glazed Lists, boilerplate code is the enemy: so their API works overtime to give you sensible defaults and many factory methods to create custom models, table column sorters, filters and so on."

TestNG

http://testng.org/

"Testing framework inspired by JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionality that makes it more powerful and easier to use."

Mule

http://mule.mulesource.org/

"Mule is a flexible, light-weight messaging/"ESB" framework providing event handling and processing capabilities modeled after Enterprise Integration Patterns."

User testimonials

"This library is a godsend for anybody still having to support JDK 1.4! Mule previously used the older dl.util.concurrent library and porting to backport increased correctness, maintainability and performance while offering a clear and easy migration path towards proper util-concurrent. The quality is nothing short of world-class."
