This planning project will plan an infrastructure called the National Java Resource (NJR), which will be a collection of (on the order of) 10,000 Java projects that build and run out of the box, and for which popular static and dynamic analysis tools succeed and have cached outputs. The tasks of writing build scripts and otherwise preparing Java projects and tools for the repository will be largely automated. A prototype was developed to serve the DARPA MUSE project, but that project is ending soon and does not have plans to establish the NJR. A large and diverse set of Java-based research projects will be able to use it, providing an experimental platform and benchmarks, and eliminating barriers to performing the research. It is expected that the project will open up new areas of research that have been impeded by the lack of a high-quality corpus of such programs that can be easily compiled, run, and analyzed. The NJR repository has the potential to push forward research on a wide range of Java based tools, such as bug finders, code repair tools, code synthesizers, software evolution, software repository mining, along with other code analysis tools. The planning activity will involve running workshops at major programming languages conferences, and possibly the major software engineering conference, with a goal to engage users and fully understand their requirements. The project will also continue experimenting with how to make downloading, compiling, and running projects less painful, i.e., more automatic, and to improve the success rate of how many projects are amenable to automatic builds, compilation and execution. There is potential for additional communities to benefit if the outreach can be extended to program comprehension, testing, and mining software repositories conferences.

该规划项目将规划一个名为“国家 Java 资源”(NJR) 的基础设施，该基础设施将是（大约）10,000 个开箱即用的 Java 项目的集合，并且流行的静态和动态分析工具将在其中取得成功并有缓存的输出。 编写构建脚本以及为存储库准备 Java 项目和工具的任务将在很大程度上实现自动化。 开发了一个原型来服务于 DARPA MUSE 项目，但该项目即将结束，并且没有建立 NJR 的计划。 大量基于 Java 的研究项目将能够使用它，提供实验平台和基准，并消除进行研究的障碍。预计该项目将开辟新的研究领域，这些领域由于缺乏易于编译、运行和分析的高质量程序语料库而受到阻碍。 NJR 存储库有潜力推动各种基于 Java 的工具的研究，例如错误查找器、代码修复工具、代码合成器、软件演化、软件存储库挖掘以及其他代码分析工具。 规划活动将涉及在主要编程语言会议以及可能的主要软件工程会议上举办研讨会，目的是吸引用户并充分了解他们的需求。 该项目还将继续尝试如何让下载、编译和运行项目变得不那么痛苦，即更加自动化，并提高有多少项目适合自动构建、编译和执行的成功率。如果外展活动可以扩展到程序理解、测试和挖掘软件存储库会议，那么其他社区就有可能受益。
