Java APIs provide a way for a JVM application to access and manage VPP.

## JVpp
JVpp is a VPP module providing Java APIs for VPP.
[Documentation for JVpp](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/gitweb?p=vpp.git;a=blob;f=vpp-api/java/jvpp/Readme.txt;h=9b759e09a4449e9750eeddc0a3652b0373e378b5;hb=HEAD) can be found within the code. Codebase is located under vpp in folder: /vpp-api/java/jvpp/

### Using JVpp
JVpp is publicly accessible in [fd.io's nexus](https://nexus.fd.io/#nexus-search;quick~jvpp).

#### Samples
The best samples can be found in Honeycomb's codebase. Since Honeycomb relies heavily on JVpp to access VPP.

### Plugin support
VPP plugins are currently not supported. JVpp redesign is in progress, see: [jVPP plugin support](view/VPP/Java_API/Plugin_support.md)
