Which Java-library can be used to access data via WebDAV?

That's the question: Which library can help me to access data available via WebDAV in my Java-programs? OpenSource is preferred.

Libraries which are already around for a while are:

Milton requires license when DAV 2 is required.

On WikiPedia you find a a small summary of available libraries.

Here's a better library to use for webdav operations. It's called Sardine hosted in Google Code.

https://github.com/lookfirst/sardine (was previously http://code.google.com/p/sardine)

I found it through here: Java: How to upload a file to a WebDAV server from a servlet?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/webdavclient4j/ is based on the retired Apache Jakarta Slide project's Java webdav client, and includes the VFS WebDAV provider. It is packaged with HttpClient 3.0.1.

The now deprecated Apache Jakarta Slide project includes a Java WebDAV client library - but this project is retired due to the lack of a developer community.

Apache Jackrabbit is mentioned as alternative to Slide. You might want to check if its WebDAV library can be used instead.

If you just want to access files from a WebDAV repository, you can simply use a HTTP library as WebDAV builds upon HTTP. You only need a WebDAV client library if you want to use WebDAV features like locking, directory listings or access to properties (meta-data).

Apache's Jakarta Project has a WebDav Construction Kit, which should fit this need.
