I have an Eclipse plugin and want to release it. I want to add a license facility that limits the feature set depending on trial periods and annual renewals. The only solutions that I have found are EasyLicenser, flexlm and JProductivity. Each of these cost a few thousand $ per year, this is well out of my price range. I am only asking 10's of $ per license and only expect 10's of customers. These license managers will cost more than I expect to make.
Are there any simple / cheaper solutions to the licensing of Eclipse plugins?

I found Padlock and am currently evaluating it using the trial download. The website states that there is a one off purchase price of $700 ... and an extended support if desired. I am sure it does not have all the features that the big boys offer ... but its more in my price range and without any heavy cracking, it locked me out without a valid license!

Could you just have a separate trial version and commercial version? If people want to buy the full version they then just install the new plug-in rather get a licence key or whatever.
If you're only talking about 10s of customers I wouldn't worry about stopping people copying the full version.

The main resources for such queries would be
https://xchange.demandware.com/community/developer
https://documentation.demandware.com
Both require that you have a valid Demandware XChange account.
It should be possible to request such by Demandware support.
There is no free server access as far as I am aware. To get a sandbox, you need to have an active subscription for Demandware SaaS.
It may be the case that your employer/client already has one, so it may be good to check with them.
It's a pay-to-play kind of model, so you can't really learn it without having an enterprise account with DW. If you do have one, you can get access to xchange where there are lots of training videos and documents....but basically it's just like NodeJS with some DW-specific calls and some, optional, funky flow chart things.

We would like to use iTextSharp DLL in one of our project to extract PDF text but I'm having 2nd thought to release it to production because I read somewhere that we need to purchase a commercial license for us to be able to use iTexttSharp. Is this true? We will just consumed the DLL and we will not change anything, do we still need to buy a license?
Thanks in Advance!
iText is free software released under the AGPL. This means that it can be used for free on condition that you also release the source code of your project for free under the same license. As soon as you start offering the code or the project (e.g. in the context of a SaaS offering) under a different license, then you should purchase a commercial license. That is explained in a one-minute video and it's the subject of my JavaOne talk on October 28th: IANAL: what developers should know about IP and legal. You'll notice that we have successfully went to court to make sure that the open source license was honored.

Is there any software for viewing UML-like diagrams of postgreSQL DB schemas for the Mac? Here's an example of what I would like to see.
(source: google.com)
Cheap's good, free's better.
A similar question was asked here, but the software pointed to here appears not to be available for the Mac, and is no longer being supported anyway.
Some days ago I had the same question. I found several, but the one that I'm using is DbVisualizer. It is multi-platform, free, and easy to install. It also has a paid version, but the free one is enough for visualization purposes. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and many other DBMS'.
Here is the download link
DbWrench is not free (but not expensive either) and quite good: http://www.dbwrench.com/
PowerArchitect Community edition is free, but the really interesting features seem to go into the enterprise edition: http://www.sqlpower.ca/page/architect
Both are Java based and work on the Mac
Aqua Data Studio offers an ER diagram generator and ER modeler but it's pricey now.
Free licenses for qualified open source developers; reduced licenses for qualified academic users.
The accepted answer's link doesn't work any more.
Here is an acceptable tool that's free and produces graphic diagrams: http://www.dbvis.com/

I'm looking for alternatives to view my source code repository and run metrics on it.
Have you looked at Review Board? It's an open source tool that is used on google code and is picking up some steam in general. I ended up not using it for my particular project because it didn't provide a user-friendly way to do post-commit reviews. I imagine the web interface has improved dramatically since I evaluated it last year.
If Review Board doesn't match your requirements, consider posting more detail on what your looking for so we can have a better chance of pointing you in the right direction
You should checkout ZebraPlan.
From my experience, ZebraPlan is a much better and easier alternative to Atlassian Fisheye and Crucible. ZebraPlan has a built-in code review feature that allows you to easily connect to your source code repository. Keep in mind that you can’t validate code with Fisheye, but you can with ZebraPlan. You will definitely save time and money using ZebraPlan. Fisheye charges $800/month for 10 users and unlimited repos and ZebraPlan charges $43/month for 10 users and unlimited repos.
Here’s a short video that showcases ZebraPlan’s “Code Review” feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gxg_d-5vuw
I hope this helps!
