Damien, I have not used the other SDK, so I cannot comment on that. However, I know of a research by Andrew Kutz at here: http://vijmark.sourceforge.net/

Hi Damien,
As an open source project, VI Java API has never been experimental although we did have one or two experimental features. The one you got from VMware website is totally different thing. For latest vijava API, you can check out http://vijava.sf.net and click the download menu.

Ok. I’ve downloaded and tried the “vijava experimental” from VMware website. What make it “experimental” ? Is it reliable ?

VI Java API has different versions. The 2.1 you are using is the latest one that support all the VI and vSphere versions. I think you are good.
