Best iCalendar library for Java? [closed]

Tags:

icalendar

I'm looking for a library to handle iCalendar data in Java.

Open source, well-documented implementations with a good object model are preferred. iCal parsing capabilities are less important to me, but still nice to have.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

How do you handle time in Java?

Joda Time is THE reference for handling date in Java. I remember using this for an application I made to count the hours I'd have to sleep, which would sit in the system tray and warn me when I was going under my allocated sleep quota :) It was pretty cool and handled everything.

I had limited success with iCal4j (intro) on a project last year.

It seems to be a fairly popular choice for ical work in the java community.

If I remember correctly the API can be slightly confusing at first glance. However It's pretty solid in the long run.

Good luck, Brian
