JVix is intended to allow Java developers to use the (freely available) VIX API to control VMware virtual machines.

The existing API comes in three forms: C, Perl and COM. This project will wrapper the C implementation in Java JNI calls, and map C conventions into their Java equivalent (e.g. methods will throw exceptions rather than return an error code).

This project may be extended in future to encompass other administrative tasks required of virtual machines (e.g. integration with WUA, the windows update agent to automatically update an embedded Windows O/S)
