Bee is a Java-based build tool. Bee inherited some principles of Make. Bee provides more procedure languages constructions, so generally can be used for script programming. It's highly extendable and base DTD can be easily changed, so it allows to create own dialects of Bee.

JAM consists of a collection of Ant scripts designed to perform common Java/J2EE build tasks such as compilation, packaging, testing, deployment and J2EE application server control. JAM combines Maven’s high-level project description and repository features (via a Maven-to-Ant bridge) with the low-level capabilities of Ant. By assembling JAM modules, one is able to quickly create sophisticated IDE-independent build scripts. JAM supports various J2EE application servers, XDoclet invocation, JUnit unit testing, Apache Cactus integration testing, UML-based code generation and other technologies.

Anthill OS is a Build Management Server. Anthill allows multiple users to work together and consistently access only the latest build, complete with changes from all programmers working on a project. Anthill performs a checkout from the source repository of the latest version of a project before every build and tags the repository with a unique build number. Anthill then updates a project intranet site with artifacts from the latest build.

Jar Jar Links is a utility that makes it easy to repackage Java libraries and embed them into your own distribution. This is useful for two reasons:

 * You can easily ship a single jar file with no external dependencies.
 * You can avoid problems where your library depends on a specific version of a library, which may conflict with the dependencies of another library.

Proximity (px-core) is a generic fetch-and-cache engine with various extra capabilities like indexing. The Px-Core module is driven by Maven bindings (px-core-maven) to implement a Maven Proxy application behaviour. Proximity is in function somewhere between http-proxy and proactive-mirror. Proximity is not HTTP Proxy. One of it's primary use is as Java web application to serve as maven proxy on our company's intranet. As for reducing outgoing traffic (caching central and other maven repos), aggregating more repositories (reducing project config) with acting as one logical repository and for publishing in-house and other external maven artifacts which are not uploadable to ibiblio (like commercial projects, J2EE Jars, etc...).
