Quaere is a extensible framework that adds a querying syntax reminiscent of SQL to Java applications. Quaere allows developers to filter, enumerate and create projections over a number of collections and other queryable resources using a common, expressive syntax.

Jequel is an Java embedded DSL for SQL. Using its expressions one can easily create expression trees that can be rendered e.g. to SQL. Advantages: * code completion, syntax highlighting, error reporting in IDE * re-generate java schema-model during CI build, all non complying code will fail to compile * enhance the schema-model with lots of other information and have this at your fingertips (quick documentation lookup of your IDE) * generate browseable javadoc from the schema model files What exists by now: * Expression Language * small Generator Framework * Ant Tasks for Generation * Unit tests for all the above
