[2] | Also known as OSCARSNotify |
OSCARS and OSCARSNotify already have an extensive set of Java clients which can be used to interact with IDCs both from the command line and your own programs.
However, it is important for a project that aims to be deployed in different contexts to make sure that developers are not forced to use the programming language in which the server is written. This is also a guarantee of interoperability, and helps avoid the infamous lock-in problem.
