JD | Java Decompiler Yet another java decompiler. But jad has been getting long in the tooth and has issues with newer java versions, and the author of the blog I just read was a jad user who jumped over. Possibly worth looking at the next time I decompile something. Both standalone and eclipse plugin versions.
Simian - Similarity Analyser | Duplicate Code Detection for the Enterprise Tool to check for code dublication. supports java, has maven plugin
google-diff-match-patch - Project Hosting on Google Code Diff, Match and Patch libraries for various languages.
EclEmma - Java Code Coverage for Eclipse

hazelcast - Google Code Distributed implementations java collections and concurrency. Looks kind of interesting
Facebook Developers | Thrift Cross language service framework
cajo: The cajo Project

Frameworks:

caliper - Project Hosting on Google Code Microbenchmarking framework for Java
Naked Objects - Welcome to Naked Objects Interesting POJO framework. You only develop the business objects. Persistence is auto generated vi Hibernate (no shock), and the View and Controller layers are autogenerated as what they call an "object oriented UI". I probably wouldn't do this for a real app. Certainly not a customer facing app or even a non-trivial backend app. But for rapid prototyping the buisness layer DDDish, it might be a useful accelerant.
Concordion Another Java BDD frameworkd
JBehave - Behaviour-driven development in Java A Java BDD framework
google-guice - Google Code Guice is Google's dependency injection framework for Java. As contrast to Spring, it's just dependency injection without all the other bulk that comes with Spring.
