Java with support for generic programming in the form of parameterized types. Provides constrained parametric polymorphism, with advantages over some other proposals for adding genericity to Java. [Open Source, GPL] |

jContractor - http://jcontractor.sourceforge.net/
Supports Design By Contract in Java. Discovers "contracts" during class loading and instruments the class bytecodes on-the-fly to check run-time contract violations. [Apache Open Source Licence] |

http://pizzacompiler.sourceforge.net/ - http://pizzacompiler.sourceforge.net/
A variant of Java that adds parametric polymorphism, first-class functions, and class cases and pattern matching to the language. The compiler compiles into Java byte code so the binaries can be run on a normal JVM. [Freeware] |

OpenJava - http://www.csg.is.titech.ac.jp/openjava/
Extensible language based on Java. A Metaobject Protocol (MOP) is the extension interface; lets programmers customize language to implement new language features, mechanisms. |

Java with a spoonful of syntactic sugar: proposed set of additions to make Java terser and safer. Terseness makes languages easier to read, write, maintain. Ideas from Abundance (Byte Magazine Oct 1986), Eiffel, Pascal, Delphi, Smalltalk, PL/I, Algol-68, Forth, even COBOL. |
