Well, it just does.

Today, I released jBootstrap at google.

Have you been tired of continuously (re)adjusting the CLASSPATH when developing a new application/library? Have you been tired of issuing ever increasing “export CLASSPATH/set CLASSPATH” statements in your shell executable that fires-up your application?

Then jbootstrap can take your headaches away. Just gather all your JAR dependencies under one directory and run your application by simply specifying this directory. jbootstrap will pick up the JARs, create an appropriate classloader and fire-up your application instantaneously.

I have always been fond of tools that makes life easier….

I recently needed to recompile one of my papers in Greek and mytex did - once more - its job perfectly well.

I made it during my stay at the National Hellenic Documentation Center in order to handle masses of LaTeX-based (!!!) documentation I had produced there.

mytex helps one with the parsing of LaTeX files written in mixed greek and english. It can automatically insert proper babel commands for the language switches.
