Are there any JVM bots?

I heard that the bot program is begun anew for each move on the server. This would be somewhat impractical for a bot programmed in a jvm language. Are there any bots programmed in Java (or Scala, Clojure)?

Clueless is written in Java, and yes I believe Jdb switched to AEI primarily to avoid the startup time on every move.
AEI is an interface I developed for Arimaa engines (forum thread and homepage). It uses a persistent connection to an engine for the full length of a game.

Great. Bookmarked - I will plug into that once I have gotten to that stage. Thank you!

The bot interface which starts the program for each move is now deprecated, as long as you use AEI you'll be fine.

AEI also allows for playing postal games and running test tournaments. All of this is included in the AEI package. Both are great tools.
