SimpleDigitalLocomotive will help you control digital model railway locomotives and function models via the serial port (RS.422) of a Mac...
This simple program can control digital model railway systems compatible to the 6050-syntax using the serial port of a Mac.
At the moment only locomotives and function models. Macs standard serial port was the RS.422 (8-pin) instead of the PC-worlds RS.232 (9-pin). After the release of the first iMac and G3 blue/white this serial port was no longer implemented by Apple.
Macs of today have only USB as their standard serial interface. The Digital Interface 6050 / 6051 has its own serial port (DIN 8-pin) and is shipped with a cable RS.232-to-Digital-Interface-6051. Other digital controlling devices (for example the IB) have built in a RS.232 modem-serial port.
A connection to the Mac is then possible with a standard Mac-modem-cable.
System requirements:
- USB-to-serial converter recognized by Mac OS X
- Cable serial-to-DigitalControllingDevice
- Model railway digital controlling device which is compatible to the so-called 6050-syntax
- Supported external devices: mrkl6021/6051, IB, Selectrix (and compatible).
Enhancements
- "Switchboard" and "Preferences": addresses visible for all or only for actually selected element (or completely off).
- "Switchboard": Zoom-In and Zoom-Out toolbar-commands added (in addition to the menubar commands via Edit...).
- EthernetTimerLookingForPorts added, prolongued for new ECoS 3, added to Prefernces (section "Special").
- Support for ECoS/CS1 v3.0.1: two additional accessory slots, less vehicle icons, updated HTML-screen request.
- s88 window: will save visible state into preferences file.
- Switchboard-Definitions window: graphics-composite bug fixed, more help-tags added.
- internal graphics all to 32-bit.
Adobe Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcut Fix

This change conflicts with the behavior of the shortcut in Adobe Photoshop 7.x (selecting the image composite in the Channels palette or selecting the master channel in the Levels and Curves dialog boxes). To restore the behavior of Command+~ in Photoshop 7.x running in Mac OS X v.10.2, place this plug-in in the Adobe Photoshop Only:Extensions folder within the Adobe Photoshop 7 Plug-Ins folder.
Mac OS X 10.2 or later, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or later.

CP2JavaWS 0.7
Bridge between desktop application and a service deployer more>> Bridge between desktop application and a service deployer
CP2JavaWS is a bridge between Cappuccino rich desktop applications and Java services deployed on a web server.
CP2JavaWS consists of a proxy (client side) and a servlet filter (server side), and manages parameters encoding, namespace, ordering and JSONP.
Enhancements
- added a mode for custom (Cappuccino based) digest authentication dialog (previous version client-side digest authentication and dialog were managed by the browser only). The mode is setted on the server-side authentication filter configuration ( parameter in the web.xml - set it to false for custom dialog).
- a default Cappuccino authentication dialog is provided (CP2JavaWS client code also manages transparently digest authorization request creation, cnonce and and nounce counter, and sending of original reques when authentication successes).
- That dialog also shows the endpoint url (we could use a composite app that makes calls to various enpoints/different webapps on the same domain - same protocol, host and por -, and then have multiple authentication challenges).
- a custom CPWindowsController can be set when creating a endpoint to use another window. It has to implement the initWithTarget:(id) okAction:(SEL) cancelAction:(SEL) method (see the provided CP2JavaWSLoginWindowController).
- passing sameDomain information isnt required anymore when creating an endpoint. CP2JavaWS compares the passed endpoint url with the index.html document.location (protocol, host and port) to determine the proper mode. However the sameDomain parameter can still be passed if needed (required if the index.html is local - for dev configuration).

DirectSync 0.2
Semi-synchronization tool for people w/multiple Macs. more>>
Instead it is focused primarily on "merging" data files for common applications such as Mail, iCal, Safari and potentially many others. The advantage of this approach over simple file synchronization is that certain types of files can be modified simultaneously and later merged together into a composite.
The developer did this because he found that he often forgot to use a file synchronization utility and by the time he remembered it was too late.
SiteMesh 2.4.1
Open source web-page layout and decoration framework and web- application integration framework more>> Open source web-page layout and decoration framework and web- application integration framework
SiteMesh will aid in creating large sites consisting of many pages for which a consistent look/feel, navigation and layout scheme is required.
SiteMesh intercepts requests to any static or dynamically generated HTML page requested through the web-server, parses the page, obtains properties and data from the content and generates an appropriate final page with modifications to the original. This is based upon the well-known GangOfFour Decorator design pattern.
SiteMesh can also include entire HTML pages as a Panel within another page. This is similar to a Server-Side Include, except that the HTML document will be modified to create a visual window (using the documents Meta-data as an aid) within a page. Using this feature, Portal type web sites can be built very quickly and effectively. This is based upon the well-known GangOfFour Composite design pattern.
SiteMesh is built using Java 2 with Servlet, JSP and XML technologies. This makes SiteMesh ideal for use with J2EE applications, however it can be integrated with server-side web architectures that are not Java based such as Cold Fusion, CGI (Perl/Python/C/C++/etc), PHP, etc...
SiteMesh is very extensible and is designed in a way in which it is easy to extend for custom needs.
Main features:
Java:
- Built with Java, the industry standard for enterprise applications.
- Conform to the Java Servlet 2.3 specification (final release).
Open Source:
- Open source software distributed under the OpenSymphony Software License (derived and fully compatible with the Apache Software License).
Simple:
- Non-technical users can now create professional Web pages while effortlessly maintaining a consistent look-and-feel across your web-application.
- Dramatically reduces the time needed to develop and maintain a web-application.
- Eliminates the need to create multiple web-apps for different audiences by allowing the decorator to be changed according to the useragent or a request parameter(s) (e.g. printable version).
Very flexible:
- A printable version of your entire site is only a matter of minutes!
- Map a decorator based on a cookie value.
- With the RobotDecoratorMapper you can apply a special decorator to all your pages when they are indexed by a search engine robot (also known as spider, crawler). Currently supports over 200 robots.
Integrated:
- Supports Velocity and Freemarker for writing decorators.
