Programming language: Java version 1.5 (versions<1.4 are hardly used anymore).
- will use 1.5 (mainly because of generics) and retroweaver for downcompiling (pending)
Building: Ant, ProGuard (to minimise the JAR file size)
Toolkit: Swing for portability and ease of use
- with Actions for a clean design,
- SwingWorker for background tasks (part of Java 1.6 and later),
- custom component for interaction with web browsers, inspired by browser launcher, desktop integration (see also here),
  - WinRegistry for accessing the Window registry
- xhtmlrenderer (aka flying saucer) for HTML user-interface components with iText for PDF export, and
- Apache Commons CLI for a getopt command-line interface
Cryptography: BouncyCastle
Logging: standard Java logging (java>=1.4)
API docs: Javadoc with APIviz for diagrams
Tests: JUnit for unit tests, with Abbot for GUI automation
