The Java CoG Kit provides convenient access to Grid middleware through the Java framework. It contains abstract APIs for accessing standard Grid services, such as job submission and file transfer. Providers for accessing elementary Grid midleware functionality through Globus Toolkit version 2, 3, and 4, Condor, as well as WebDAV, SSH, FTP, and GridFTP are included is available. It also contains higher level abstractions for conveniently building complex Grid applications, such as task queues, task graphs, and a comprehensive workflow language and system. Prototype graphical applications are also provided as form of a Grid Desktop with a Grid Shell.
In addition we have contributed the cog-jglobus libraries to the Globus Toolkit 3 and 4. These libraries allow you to use GridFTP and GSI from your Java clients and servers.
