Plouf's Java IRC (abbreviated as PJIRC) is an open-source IRC client designed for web use and developed in Java. It operates within any web browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment or alternative Java interpreters through a Java applet. Numerous IRC networks offer PJIRC as a publicly accessible client for their users.
The project was mainly created by Philippe Detournay until 2005 and has since been discontinued; however, its forum on the official website continues to be active and moderated.
Features
PJIRC sets itself apart from other Java applet-based IRC clients by enabling DCC connections and providing an application mode that functions independently from web browsers, requiring solely a Java Runtime Environment. It incorporates features relevant to professional use, including text highlighting, UTF-8 support, nickname autocompletion, automatic linking of nicknames, channels, and URLs, as well as extensibility through plug-ins and limited JavaScript scripting capabilities. Additionally, the graphical user interface can be tailored to user preferences.
This client can be integrated into websites either as a general IRC client or pre-set to connect automatically to particular servers and channels with restricted user commands.
Language support is extensive via external files, encompassing Albanian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Spanish, Estonian, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
