this webpage describe the latest development status of the Java Constraint Library, the first aivalable package for handling constraint based problems.
JCL has been developed over the last four years at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and has grown considerly long since then.
the JCL has been one of the first software library to bring constraints satisfaction problem solving to java worl. With a story of many years already, it is striving to become a mature project..
The JCL essentially dealt with discrete, fine domains as well as with continuous domains. Constraints can be crisp (as in the classic CSP problems) or soft.
