Welcome to the Dev Direct Top 10 developer tool and software component categories - our most visited categories over the last 30 days. This list is updated every weekday morning.
| 1. Debugging & Profiling - Use profilers to help track down performance bottlenecks and the causes of errors in your code. |
| 2. Diagramming - These components enable enable developers to add diagramming capabilities to their applications. They are oriented towards the creation of diagrams that describe objects, relationships and flows such as work flow diagrams, data entity relationship diagrams (ERD), flowcharts and organisation heirarchy diagrams. For numeric applications such as the production of graphs, see Graphing & Charting. |
| 3. Document Conversion - Components which enable the application to convert documents from one format to another. For example from MS Word format to plain text, or from PDF to HTML. See also PDF Documents |
| 4. Document Generation - Enable your application to create documents in native file formats such as MS Word, RTF and XLS. See also our PDF Components. |

| 8. Graph & Chart - A round-up of Java graphing and charting classes to help you to build java applications that output charts and graphs from statistical, finincial, engineering, scientific and other numeric data. These Java tools can produce all types of business and scientific graphs and charts, including: Line graphs, bar charts, scatter graphs, polar charts. For organisation, flow and workflow diagrams, see Diagrams, Diagramming. |
| 9. HTML Editing - Perform WYSIWYG HTML editing from within your java application. Develop Java-based content management applications for your web sites. The HTML editing controls lists includes HTML editing classes for all Java platforms. |
| 10. Ping & ICMP - These components implement the ICMP protocol to enable you to test netwrk connectivity between two network nodes from within your application. |
