Java iCal Group Scheduler enables several users to get together for a meeting, by using JICAL to translate their iCalendar files into their available free/busy time and post it automatically to your Web server.

This project enables Ximian Evolution desktop users to book meetings with each other (and Outlook users) via a Web server storing their 'Free/Busy' information as specified in RFC2445.

It works with Evolution, Korganiser, Apple iCal, and MS Outlook (for meetings), and enhances your workgroup and personal calendar views. Shell scripts for converting to various image formats are also included.

Requirements:
JAVA 1.4. You will need java running on the server.
JBOSS


JiCal runs as a Mbean in the jboss 2.4.* architecture. Based on your parameters, JiCal wakes up periodically, scans the home directories for your evolution iCalendar.ics files and converts them to a FBURL based upon:

{FbPublishDirectory}{USERjicalISPARSING}.ifb

This means that your users can find out each others free/busy information and schedule

with each other simply by accessing the website that the .ifb was posted to.
