[9fans] Java library to access 9P/Styx

[Arnaud Sahuguet]

I am looking for Java libraries to access Plan 9 servers.

I heard that such things exist (see reference to Slashdot post below), but I could not find any.
"Note that all this is independent of the programming language. There are C and Java libraries for accessing 9P or Styx
objects."

Pointers would be appreciated.

regards,

Arnaud

You meant my message http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=29001&cid=3117157

There used to be a Lucent product "InfernoSpaces" which was foreign access to 9P systems, most notably from Java, and library level C. But is is discontinued, not supported by Vita Nuova. See

The last quote from Charles Forsyth:

"...in the Inferno/Plan9 milieu
we hope to provide something that attacks the part of the problem where
(we thought) InfernoSpaces meant well..."
