ETL(or ELT)的流程可以用任何的编程语言去开发完成，由于ETL是极为复杂的过程，而手写程序不易管理，有愈来愈多的企业采用工具协助ETL的开发，并运用其内置的metadata功能来储存来源与目的的对应（mapping）以及转换规则。

工具并可以提供较强大的连接功能（connectivity）来连接来源及目的端，开发人员不用去熟悉各种相异的平台及数据的结构，亦能进行开发。

下面是一些开源的Java ETL工具

• Octopus - Octopus is a simple Java-based Extraction, Transform, and Loading (ETL) tool. It may connect to any JDBC data sources and perform transformations defined in an XML file. A loadjob-generator is provided to generate Octopus loadjob skeletons from an existing database. Many different types of databases can be mixed (MSSQL, Oracle, DB2, QED, JDBC-ODBC with Excel and Access, MySQL, CSV-files, XML-files,...) Three special JDBC drivers come with Octopus to support JDBC access to CSV-files (CSV-JDBC), MS-SQL (FreeTDS) and XML. Octopus supports Ant and JUnit to create a database / tables and extract/load data during a build or test process.
• Xineo - Xineo XIL (XML Import Langage) defines an XML language for transforming various record-based data sources into XML documents, and provides a fully functional XIL processing implementation. This implementation has built-in support for relational (via JDBC) and structured text (like CSV) sources, and is extensible thanks to its public API, allowing dynamic integration of new data source implementations. It also provides an abstraction over output format, and the Xineo implementation can generate output documents into stream or as DOM document. Xineo's implementation built-in data sources include : Relational data via JDBC and Structured text via regular expressions.
• CloverETL - CloverETL Features include internally represents all characters as 16bit, converts from most common character sets (ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1,ISO-8859-2, etc), works with delimited or fix-length data records, data records (fields) are internally handled as a variable-length data structures, fields can have default values, handles NULL values, cooperates with any database with JDBC driver, transforming of the data is performed by independent components, each running as an independent thread, framework implements so called pipeline-parallelism, metadata describing structure of data files (records) can be read from XML and transformation graphs can be read from XML
• BabelDoc - BabelDoc is a Java framework for processing documents in linear stages, it tracks documents and can reintroduce documents back into into the pipelines, it is monitorable and configurable through a number of interfaces, it can be run standalone, in server processes or in application servers, it can be reconfigured dynamically by text files and database tables.
• Joost - Java implementation of the Streaming Transformations for XML (STX) language. Streaming Transformations for XML (STX) is a one-pass transformation language for XML documents. STX is intended as a high-speed, low memory consumption alternative to XSLT. Since it does not require the construction of an in-memory tree, it is suitable for use in resource constrained scenarios.

• Transmorpher - Transmorpher is an environment for processing generic transformations on XML documents. It aims at complementing XSLT in order to:
  • describe easily simple transformations (removing elements, replacing tag and attribute names, concatenating documents...);
  • allowing regular expression transformations on the content;
  • composing transformations by linking their (multiple) output to input;
  • iterating transformations, sometimes until saturation (closure operation);
  • integrating external transformations.
• XPipe - XPipe is an approach to manageable, scaleable, robust XML processing based on the assembly line principle, common in many areas of manufacturing. XPipe as being an attempt to take what was great about the original Unix pipe idea and apply it for structured information streams based on XML.

The intention of Flume is that each of the workers would provide access to a different type of technology. For example, a pipeline could consist of a Jython script worker followed by a BeanShell script worker followed by an XSLT worker.
• Smallx - Smallx supports streaming of XML infosets to allow processing of very large documents (500MB-1GB). Processing is specified in an XML syntax that describes an XML pipeline--which is a sequence of components that consume and produce infosets. This allows chaining of XML component standards like XSLT. Also, there is a full component API that allows developers to easily write their own components.
• Nux - Nux is a toolkit making efficient and powerful XML processing easy. It is geared towards embedded use in high-throughput XML messaging middleware such as large-scale Peer-to-Peer infrastructures, message queues, publish-subscribe and matchmaking systems for Blogs/newsfeeds, text chat, data acquisition and distribution systems, application level routers, firewalls, classifiers, etc. Nux reliably processes whatever data fits into main memory (even, say, 250 MB messages), but it is not an XML database system, and does not attempt to be one. Nux integrates best-of-breed components, containing extensions of the XOM, Saxon and Lucene open-source libraries.
• KETL - KETL is an extract, transform, and load (ETL) tool designed by Kinetic Networks. KETL includes job scheduling and alerting capabilities.

• ServingXML - ServingXML is a markup language for expressing XML pipelines, and an extensible Java framework for defining the elements of the language. It defines a vocabulary for expressing flat-XML, XML-flat, flat-flat, and XML-XML transformations in pipelines. ServingXML supports reading content as XML files, flat files, SQL queries or dynamically generated SAX events, transforming it with XSLT stylesheets and custom SAX filters, and writing it as XML, HTML, PDF or mail attachments. ServingXML is suited for converting flat file or database records to XML, with its support for namespaces, variant record types, multi-valued fields, segments and repeating groups, hierarchical grouping of records, and record-by-record validation with XML Schema.
