Recommendations for a Java IRC client library that supports Socks proxies?

I'm looking for a decent Java IRC client library that supports connecting to an IRC server through a socks proxy. Any recommendations?

Solution

  • You should be able to just do

    System.setProperty("socksProxyHost","{proxy host IP}");
System.setProperty("socksProxyPort","{proxy port}");

    just before you open the IRC connection and then

    System.setProperty("socksProxyHost", null);
System.setProperty("socksProxyPort", null);

    after the connection has been established to undo it. That SHOULD work for even PircBot.

    Let me know if it works.
