We are developing a piece of software that does it’s IPC over D-Bus. However, we’re running into a lot of tiny problems with the java ‘dbuslib’ reference implementation from freedesktop.org.
Is that a surprise to you? I’m actually looking for alternatives: I don’t seem to stumble onto any other implementation.
Do you know of any (industry-grade stability) java d-bus implementations?
This sounds like a classical “unloved” project where the key developers have lost interest / enthusiasm. Submitting bug reports / issues is a waste of time if they are not being addressed.
I think the solution is to develop your own fixes and submit them as patches. Then, if your patches are not integrated in a timely fashion, ask for commit rights.
Even if you get no assistance from the erstwhile developers, the patches will fix the problems for you.
And no, I couldn’t find any alternative libraries either.
And here’s an article that is (IMO) pertinent to your situation:
