Introduction

The iCal4j project is a collection of Open Source Java libraries providing support for the iCalendar specifications (RFCs).

The core iCal4j library provides an implementation of the iCalendar specifications that are designed to facilitate interoperability between calendaring and scheduling software systems.

iCalendar provides a common data format used to store scheduling information such as events, appointments, to-do lists, etc. All of the popular calendaring tools, such as Lotus Notes, Outlook and Apple's iCal also support the iCalendar standard.
