Plouf's Java IRC (PJIRC)[1] is a web-based open source IRC client that is written in the Java programming language.[2] Any web browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment, or an alternative java interpreter, can use the applet.[3] Many IRC networks have a public installation of the applet for their network.[2]
Philippe Detournay, the initial and main contributor, has stopped working on the project since 2005. However, the website forum is still frequently used and moderated by the administrators.
Features
Unlike many other Java applet IRC clients, PJIRC supports DCC connections,[2] and can be run in application mode, without the need of either website or browser, though still requiring some form of Java Runtime Environment.[1] It is also customizable through the use of plug-ins, including limited support for scripting using JavaScript.[1]
