<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE pkgmetadata SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd"> <pkgmetadata> <herd>java</herd> <longdescription lang="en"> iCal4j is a Java library used to read and write iCalendar data streams as defined in RFC2445. The iCalendar standard provides a common data format used to store information about calendar-specific data such as events, appointments, to-do lists, etc. All of the popular calendaring tools, such as Lotus Notes, Outlook and Apple's iCal also support the iCalendar standard. Providing both a parser and an object model, iCal4j allows you to either modify existing iCalendar data or create new data models. Validation is also provided to ensure the data maintains a state consistent with the specification. </longdescription> <upstream> <remote-id type="sourceforge">ical4j</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
