JmDNS is a Java implementation of multi-cast DNS and can be used for service registration and discovery in local area networks. JmDNS is fully compatible with Apple's Bonjour.

The Zeroconf working group is working towards zero-configuration IP networking. Multi-cast DNS and DNS service discovery provide a convenient way for devices and services to register themselves, and to discover other network-based services without relying on centrally administered services.

Java as a language is not appropriate for low-level network configuration, but it is very useful for service registration and discovery. JmDNS provides an easy-to-use pure-Java mDNS implementation that runs on most JDK1.6 compatible VMs.
