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.

  • For a concise description of the goals and directions of iCal4j please take a look at the open issues.

  • In this guide You will find examples of how to use iCal4j, as well as throughout the API documentation.

  • Detailed descriptions of changes included in each release may be found in the CHANGELOG.
