It is an independent open source implementation that is not affiliated with or endorsed by _Let's Encrypt_.
## Alpha Release!
Please note that even though _acme4j_ is already usable, it is currently in an early alpha state. This means that:
* _acme4j_ is not feature complete yet (see the "Missing" section below).
* The API is not stable. It may change in a manner not compatible to previous versions and without prior notice.
* _acme4j_ could still have major bugs.
As _Let's Encrypt_ is currently in public beta, some of the ACME services may be restricted or not yet available.
The ACME specifications are in draft status and subject to change.
## Features
* Easy to use Java API
* Requires JRE 7 or higher
* Built with maven (package will be made available at Maven Central as soon as beta state is reached)
* Built with maven, packages available at Maven Central soon
* Small, only requires [jose4j](https://bitbucket.org/b_c/jose4j/wiki/Home) and [slf4j](http://www.slf4j.org/) as dependencies
* Extensive unit tests
## Usage
See the [online documentation](http://www.shredzone.org/maven/acme4j/) for how to use _acme4j_. Or just have a look at [the source code of an example](https://github.com/shred/acme4j/blob/master/acme4j-example/src/main/java/org/shredzone/acme4j/ClientTest.java).

## Beta Release
Please note that _acme4j_ is currently in beta state. The API may still change without prior notice, but I try to keep the changes minimal.
As _Let's Encrypt_ is currently in public beta, some of the ACME services may be restricted or [not implemented](https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/wiki/TODO). Also see the [_acme4j_ bug tracker](https://github.com/shred/acme4j/issues) for missing or untested features.
The [ACME specifications](https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme) are not finalized yet. The _acme4j_ API may change as features are added to, and other features removed from the specifications.
