Here are some projects that I have either lost time and/or interest in. Most actually have code, some are sadly bereft and will probably die soon. If you have a strong interest in any of these, please e-mail me and we can talk about either reviving or handing over.

eXtenDE - stood for extensible development environment. Initially started out as a dev platform based on XML. So, you could store your source in XML and transform that to Java (or potentially other languages) for compilation. Unfortunately we ended up bickering more than coding and it never quite got off the ground and I ended up the only developer :(.

Java DocBook - the idea here was to support the DocBook format using a Swing UI, batch-processing of DocBook files to convert them to a variety of other formats (PDF, HTML, other XML), etc. Currently, I have some contributed code that I need to put into the source tree and a need to convert it to a Maven project. Not sure where this project will go, it may become an active one sooner or later.

Opal Window Manager - the idea behind this is to create a java-based window manager that would use SVG as it's drawing engine. So, one could easily create new widgets in SVG and then glue them together. With some new things coming out recently (SWIX, Thinlet), this may raise up from a glimmer of an idea to something that works (we'll see :).
