How to query an ssdp server using java

Question

Is there a way to query a ssdp server using java? I want to send this request using java and then receive the response back from the server and display it. I googled alot but can't find anything on this.

I could not find any solution so I developed my own (javadoc). Maven repository and coordinates:

    <repository>                                                                
      <id>repo.hcf.dev-RELEASE</id>                                             
      <name>hcf.dev RELEASE Repository</name>                                   
      <url>https://repo.hcf.dev/maven/release/</url>                            
      <layout>default</layout>                                                  
    </repository>

      <dependency>                                                              
        <groupId>ball</groupId>                                                 
        <artifactId>ball-upnp</artifactId>                                      
        <version>3.0.2.20210415</version>                                 
      </dependency>

Take a look at (or simply run) the SSDPTask.Discover Ant Task.
