Java(TM) Management Extensions (JMX) and of the JMX Remote API
(JSR 160) specifications, and to build tools relating to JMX.
JMX is an optional package for J2SE that provides a standard
way to manage applications. It can also be used to wrap legacy
systems and provide a standard interface to the outside world,
enabling the development of web services. JMX allows developers
to write more modular and loosely coupled system components and
reduce the complexity of large, interoperating systems.

The Discovery Component is about discovering, or finding, implementations for
pluggable interfaces. It provides facilities intantiating classes in general,
and for lifecycle management of singleton (factory) classes.
Fundamentally, Discovery locates classes that implement a given Java interface.
The discovery pattern, though not necessarily this package, is used in many
projects including JAXP (SaxParserFactory and others) and commons-logging
(LogFactory). By extracting this pattern, other projects can (re)use it and
take advantage of improvements to the pattern as Discovery evolves.
Discovery improves over previous implementations by establishing facilities for
working within managed environments. These allow configuration and property
overrides without appealing to the global System properties (which are scoped
across an entire JVM).

JC is a Java virtual machine implementation that converts class
files into C source files using the Soot Java bytecode analysis
framework, compiles them with GCC, and loads them using a built-in
ELF object file loader. JC utilizes the GNU Classpath class library
and provides support for most features you would expect such as
reflection, user class loaders, etc.

JFlex is a lexical analyzer generator for Java written in Java.
It is also a rewrite of the very useful tool JLex which was developed
by Elliot Berk at Princeton University. As Vern Paxon states for his C/C++
tool flex: They do not share any code though.

Java Media Framework API
The Java Media Framework API (JMF) enables audio, video and other
time-based media to be added to Java applications and applets. This
optional package, which can capture, playback, stream and transcode
multiple media formats, extends the multimedia capabilities on the
J2SE platform, and gives multimedia developers a powerful toolkit to
develop scalable, cross-platform technology.
