Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Credits

Luxor would be impossible without open standards and high-quality, free, open source libraries, toolkits and products.

Third-Party Libraries - Reuse, Reuse, Reuse

Luxor comes pre-packaged in a single jar named luxor.jar. Note, that luxor.jar only holds Luxor's own .class files and resources and no one else's. Luxor relies on the following open-source libraries:

Name Description Creator Web
velocity.jar Template Engine Apache Jakarta http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity third-party link
log4j.jar Logging Toolkit Apache Jakarta http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j third-party link
jdom.jar XML Toolkit Brett McLaughlin, Jason Hunter http://www.jdom.org third-party link

(*) Note, that jaxp.jar and a JAXP-plugable XML parser and XSL/T engine are now part of Java 1.4 and no longer needed as separate add-ons.
