The OpenDDS DCPS JNI API provides a Java™ compatible interface to the native C++ OpenDDS libraries.

OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE abstraction layer to provide platform portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).

The primary development of OpenDDS was done by the ACE/TAO development team at Object Computing, Incorporated in St. Louis and Phoenix. It is released under the same generous license terms as ACE, TAO and MPC.

The OpenDDS project site can be found by visiting: http://www.opendds.org/.
