Skype4Java(Skype API for Java)

14年前
Skype contains Skype API which is a mechanism to develop plug-ins.
But it is not easy to use in Java because the API is string-based which means that developers have to parse received messages and generate commands by the specification document.
This project enables developers to make plug-ins in Java easily.

This project is developed by Koji Hisano, Bart Lamot, commnunity member and supported by eflow Inc(UBION Inc). and Skype as official API.
Please, see the detail from:
https://developer.skype.com/wiki/Java_API
