Was visiting /. and found an interesting article about NASA releasing one of their products as open source. The tool is called Java PathFinder. It basically is a code checker to identify possible errors in code such as uncaught exceptions, race conditions, etc. It does so by executing muliple times identifying possible run time execution threads that can occur and the problems that occur under that environment. This seems like a useful tool.
It also made use of a number of useful java tools including the JUnit tool to provide additional Unit Test functionality for their code, Ant, and Xerces an XML parsing library. They look to be looking for an Eclipse Plugin to work with this, maybe that would be a good project to attempt.
