Agent Client Protocol for Java Developers
summary
ACP acts as the wire protocol while a Java SDK plus a Spring Boot starter lets developers register handlers and spin agents as jars over stdio; demos show a minimal echo agent that prefixes input, a chatbot wired to Anthropic Claude and Spring AI with memory, an agent delegating to agentic CLIs (claude cloud code) that creates files (haiku.ext) via the tool calling loop, and a domain DDD code review agent that finds and refactors issues and prints structured reports though long-running tasks and MCP integration are still flaky.
