Open Source Java Distributed Computing Software for Windows

A Java middleware API supporting broker-less, type+topic-based publish/subscribe and request/reply messaging for both intra- and inter-application, object-level communication. Broker-less: messages are transmitted directly between eBus applications. There is no message broker (i.e. server) in between. Type+topic addressing: eBus clients subscribe to a message class (type) and message topic, providing stronger typing than just topic-based subscriptions. Object-level communication: eBus delivers messages directly to client objects, not to a client process.

Aracnis is a Java based framework for building distributed web spiders. These spiders can be used to accomplish a variety of tasks, for example, screen-scraping and link integrity checking.

Clutch is a Java framework for distributed computing using mobile agents. Built using ProActive [http://www-sop.inria.fr/sloop/javall/], it is meant to be a scalable toolkit that can be used to distribute computation across an arbitrary number of nodes.
