Inspektr: open source audit trail and logging aspects for Java

After creating a lightweight audit trail and log capturing (for example to capture and log Exceptions in the structured way) "common" library for my organization, we've (2 of my colleagues) reviewed it, cleaned it up, added the statistics capturing module, and released it as an open source under Apache license.

At its core, the library makes use of Spring's @AspectJ POJO-style aspects together with Java Annotations.

Check it out, it's called Inspektr, and it's available here

The Web has won... through open source

Some good and true observations in this post :

In other words, open source lets enterprises focus on delivering customer value, rather than on the "overhead" of software (licenses, contract negotiations, closed APIs, etc.). "Old school" enterprises get this. "New school" web properties do, too. In fact, just about everyone is getting on board...except 20th-century software companies.
