FREEHEP

FreeHEP is a "virtual organization" created in 1991 to foster collaboration in software development across different High-Energy Physics laboratories and universities. At its kickoff FreeHEP developed one of the first databases interfaced to the then nascent "World-Wide-Web". Today the main thrust of FreeHEP is the development of open-source software for data analysis and visualization, using mainly Java and C++. Although still developed primarily for use in High Energy, Nuclear and Astro- physics, much of the software is general enough to find uses well beyond these fields... The goal of the FreeHEP Java library is to encourage the sharing and reuse of Java code for data analysis and visualization. Although the library is quite large, we strive to keep the dependencies between various packages in the FreeHEP library to a minimum, so you can use which ever parts interest you without being forced to use the entire library. The FreeHEP Java library is an "Open Source" library..
