DataNucleus Data Object  is one of JDO implementation. A performance of this implementation is 2 - 10 times slower then Hibernate (link to test).

Apache Isis - supports domain driven design by requirement of preparing model. Other things are generated and shared by configurable wicket GUI. 

EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework - it is framework to defining and create model of data by eclipse modelling tools and then on basic of model there is generated Java code. 

JDepend - a tool which shows references between packages. Handy tool to check application design.

Classycle - similar tool to JDepend but additionally it allows to check references on class level as well.

Eclipse Metrics plugin - a eclipse plugin to check dependences between classes and cycles in packages.

Hibernate Search - A hibernate solution of full text searching using Apache Lucene engine. In my case I tried standard solution: single instance, standard indexing with result storage in files. I tried to change a language of analysed tokens but I couldn't find Polish dictionary.
Indexing is processed on request and can be executed as a blocking or asynchronous operation.

jMock - another test tool which allows to create mock. I used this tool in a few cases but the same I can do by Mockito. This tool has other order of processing than Mockito (given, when, then). JMock defines mocks and execution listeners then allows to execute tested method. After 4 hour I think, this tool is less flexible then Mockito but require less complex object to test. jMock couldn't create mock of class, it is possible only to mock interface and it is required to mock every used methods. In my cases it required more code and create instance of object - not mocks.
