+Java plugin for Orthanc
+=======================
+
+.. contents::
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This plugin can be used to write :ref:`Orthanc plugins
+<creating-plugins>` using the `Java programming language
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)>`__ instead
+of the more complex C/C++ programming languages.
+
+Java plugins have access to more features and a more consistent SDK
+than :ref:`Lua scripts <lua>`. The largest part of the Java API is
+automatically generated from the `Orthanc plugin SDK in C
+<https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc/file/Orthanc-1.12.2/OrthancServer/Plugins/Include/orthanc/OrthancCPlugin.h>`__
+using the `Clang <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang>`__ compiler
+front-end.
+
+As of release 1.0 of the plugin, the coverage of the C SDK is about
+76% (122 functions are automatically wrapped in Java out of a total of
+160 functions from the Orthanc SDK 1.10.0).
+
+
+Source code
+-----------
+
+* Link to the `official releases of this plugin
+  <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/sources/orthanc-java/index.html>`__.
+
+* Link to the `code repository
+  <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc-java/>`__.
+
+
+Licensing
+---------
+
+This plugin is licensed under the terms of the `GPLv3+ license
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Affero_General_Public_License>`__,
+which is the same as the core of Orthanc.
+
+This has an important consequence: If you distribute Orthanc to
+clients together with one Java plugin, you **must** disclose the
+source code of your Java script to the Orthanc community under the
+terms of the GPL or AGPL licenses.
+
+We suggest you to put the source code of your Java scripts on the
+dedicated `"OrthancContributed" repository on GitHub
+<https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed/tree/master/Plugins>`__,
+and/or to send it to the `Orthanc Users discussion forum
+<https://discourse.orthanc-server.org>`__.
+
+Check out the :ref:`FAQ about licensing <licensing>` for more context.
