JesterJ

Ease of use and quick startup is emphasized and key features such as fault tolerance and dirty checking “just work.” Try it out for free at www.jesterj.org (Apache 2.0 licensed)

Solr-gradle Plugin

At Needham Software LLC we strongly believe that all code and configuration should be managed with a version control system. We also advocate build processes that can directly support continuous integration. To that end we have written a plugin for the Gradle build tool that allows easy upload and download of config sets to Solr and made it available to the world. Usage details available in the Gradle plugin repository

Uno-Jar

Needham Software has adopted and still maintains a fork of the original fat jar packaging system for java. This was a tool relied upon by JesterJ in it’s quest to provide the simplest possible initial startup for a document indexing system and is working on adding a class-loading management aspect that facilitates the use of multiple versions of the same library without messy re-writing of package names.
