A pure java client with same features as FreeRDP will be a huge undertaking, any particular reason why a java client is needed? FreeRDP uses ARM NEON or Intel MMX optimizations for performance, all of these will be lost with pure java client, besides the efforts. Since each major platforms will have a native client, I don't see obvious reason for a java client. a C# client might make more sense, since Windows Mobile requires that.

We would like to produce a similarly up to date Java RDP client, and open source it, ideally as part of the freerdp project, but otherwise as a separate project. We believe there are no open source Java RDP clients that are being updated (the closest being properjavardp which hasn't had an update in 5 years and connects to 2008 but not to 2012) - please correct me if I'm wrong. We are aware of freerdp-webconnect but that has a number of difficulties for us (such as lack of support for browsers that don't support websockets and Canvas). We'd be prepared to pay developers to do this if it can be done quickly - contact me on or off list if interested. For someone who knows the protocol, I'd expect modifying properjavardp (which appears to be almost there) is probably a relatively small job. Is this something the freerdp project would be interested in? If it were based on properjavardp, does the fact that properjavardp is GPL and freerdp is Apache licensed constitute an insurmountable hurdle to inclusion within the freerdp project? -- Alex Bligh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
