Introduction

orcus-sms is a small project consisting of two simple components for sending SMS (Short Message Service) messages.

The first component is called orcus-sms-api and is a very simple API for sending SMS (Short Message Service) messages.In fact orcus-sms-api is an abstract API but also comes with a ready- to-use service implementation for the aspsms.com SMS service. However it is designed in a way for you to plug in your own SMS service implementation, e.g. maybe you are looking for an api to access your own little SMS gateway, or maybe you just want to write a Java client that is more comfortable to use than a browser but in fact uses an HTTP SMS service on the web. Don't limit your imagination... =)

The second component is called orcus-sms-client and is a very simple graphical client (SWT) for sending SMS (Short Message Service) messages and is built on top of the orcus-sms- api. Note however that this component hasn't been built yet.
