Hum, could you avoid posting the same questions 4 times on the list, thanks ! > 1. Are all functions that are available in C API available in Java? there can be a bit of lag > 2. Are Java bindings added along with every enhancement to C API? those are separate code bases, so no guarantee. Using the C api is the only way to make sure you have access to the latest features, Python is usually up to date too as it's included in the main tree and releases. > 3.

It goes faster if he's notified or receive patches of course. > 4. Most of libvirt based third party management applications use which of > Java bindings or C API? We use python a lot ourselves.
