      #35 buildr http://buildr.apache.org/  buildr is a build system for Java and other JVM based languages like Scala and Groovy. It competes therefore with Maven and Ant, other ASF projects. It seems to be more recent than those efforts but I'm not clear how it differentiates itself.

      [it's been a while!] #36 BVal http://bval.apache.org/  BVal has a spectacular logo for what is otherwise a mundane and worthy workhorse of a project: it validates Java Beans to make sure they comply to the specification. Java Beans are essentially packages for Java.pic.twitter.com/lYDWa4N1gA

      #37 Calcite https://calcite.apache.org/  Everybody goes and writes their own damn database and then they write some half-assed implementation of SQL. Calcite aims to solve that problem by providing a first-class SQL parser and validator which you can then connect to your weirdo DB.

      #38 Camel https://camel.apache.org/  Camel is an integration framework. Need to connect one giant-ass piece of software to pass data and instructions to another? You can write it yourself with this huge suite of patterns, components and connectors. ASF is so good for this stuff.

      #39 CarbonData https://carbondata.apache.org/  CarbonData is a "big data file format" allegedly optimized for fast analytics. Its blog last saw an update in the Obama administration and its website features a marquee tag but they are still faithfully releasing updates.

      #40 Cassandra http://cassandra.apache.org/  You've probably heard of this one! A hugely scalable, reliable, distributed data store that survived the big data boom and bust, it's a workhorse DB in constant productive use by everyone from GitHub through CERN to Netflix to Instagram.

      #41 Cayenne https://cayenne.apache.org/  Cayenne is, dear lord, a Java based ORM framework. Nothing about this is a good idea.

      #42 Celix http://celix.apache.org/  OSGi, as we learned earlier in the thread, is hot-swappable modules for Java. Celix is an implementation of OSGi for C and C++ so you can do the same trick in a different language. It seems active and healthy.

      #43 Chainsaw https://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/2.x/  Chainsaw is a logging tool (geddit?) that helps you view logs output by log4j, a popular Java logging library, because Java has things like logging libraries. It is extremely a GUI designed by Java developers.pic.twitter.com/DIRFOyKqaI

      #44 Chemistry http://chemistry.apache.org/  Did you ever wish two different CMS systems could communicate with each other? Chemistry exists to solve that interoperability problem, implementing the Content Management Interoperability Specification in a variety of languages. Neat.
