Had this working for a while, however I've yet to release it--I wanted to properly document and comment the code. But I've put this off for months and figure I might as well let people take a look. Remember, this external is uncommented! It is written in java, with java libraries, for the pdj pure-data plugin.
mDNSbonjour pure-data plugin
add easy connectivity to your peached patch using apple's bonjour api!
1. http://www.le-son666.com/software/pdj/
Download pdj along with needed dependencies, compile (if necessary), and gain some understanding of how things work and where things go.
2. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmdns/
Copy "jmdns.jar" to pdj directory's dist/classes.
3. Copy "mDNSbonjour.java" (included in attached zip archive) to
pdj directory's dist/classes.
4. Add pdj external to your pure-data's path. (pdj directory's dist folder)
5. Try out included test patch!
NOTE. Test patch also utilizes the following pure-data externals: bbogart/popup, mrpeach/osc, mrpeach/net, zexy/build.
LINUX USERS. In order for the external to listen on avahi network, you must define your system's ip in /etc/hosts that is not localhost's "127.0.0.1".
