Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is a Java program that enables both programmers and novices to quickly and easily prototype, test, and distribute packages of Java simulations.
Version 4.1 adds grouping and affine transformations to 2D drawing Elements.
Version 4.2 adds new ODE solvers and zero crossing events.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.5 of
Java (JRE).

The advantage of EJS for physics teaching is that it forces students to separate the model into logical parts and to separate the model from the view. Students learn the logic of computer modeling using loops and control structures and study algorithms used in professional practice when building models.
