Are there any other Java libraries for bonjour/zeroconf apart from JMDNS?

by

I’m also curious to find the best cross-platform DNS-SD (Zeroconf, Bonjour, DNS self discovery) library exists out there.

It does sound like Apple’s DNS-SD dnssd.jar is the “official” Java library that requires native library support on Windows, Linux, etc, but works out of the box on Mac OSX.

There are other pure Java DNS-SD implementations, but it’s unclear if any of them offer a library that is as easy to use or fully tested as DNS-SD (some of the projects appear to be abandoned for 2 years).

  1. Official Apple DNS-SD mDNSResponder
    library
  2. mDNSResponder and jmDNS
    integration     – There’s been some
    work to create a library that
    provides a common DNS-SD interface
    to jmDNS and Apple’s mDNSResponder
    implementation. Instructions to use
    the jmDNS wrapper    .
  3. waiter – Described as a “modern
    DNS library and an effective DNS-SD
    (Service Discovery) library.” It
    utilizes java NIO networking.
  4. jmDNS – JmDNS provides
    easy-to-use pure-Java mDNS
    implementation that runs on JDK 1.4
    and higher
  5. JiveDNS – “JiveDNS is a fork of
    the defunct JmDNS library, used for
    multicast DNS service discovery and
    registration.” (it itself has not
    seen an SVN update in over 2 years)
