Hotfusion: File binder
Hotfusion is the best and free file binder and exe joiner tool avialable that can be used to bind files of all types into a single executable fused module for silent self-extraction.

Features and configurations:

• Binds files of all types
• Sets user defined icon of fused module
• Randomly renames files on extraction
• Moves each bound file to it's desired destination
• Sequentially runs bound files on extraction
• Encrypts all files & decrypts on extraction
• Randomizes stub signature
• Silently registers bound libraries on extraction (dll, ocx)
• Adds bound files to startup using different methods
• Silent self destruction
• Saves fusion configuration

Configutron is a generic XML based application configuration API. It provides  the application developer to define and load XML based app configurations  without having to write a single line of Java code to parse and read the  configuration file. Instead Configutron provides the entire app configuration as  populated Java Beans to the application.

Configutron provides:

• A more natural way to load configuration from XML file
• A generic    configuration module for multiple and essentially different applications
• An    easy way to have pre-designed application be configured
• An easy way to    cater rapidly changing configurations
• A non-hectic approach towards extending existing    configurations

And all this is achieved without writing a single line of Java code to read  the XML configuration file.

Bottomline is a JDBC Bridge API that loads database drivers directly from JAR archives. Bottomline    uses a jdbc:bottomline bridge to load multiple drivers from their respective    JAR files. Unlike JDBC, Bottomline uses custom class loaders to load drivers completely    bypassing JVM's bootstrap class loader.
