There's a [Java SDK](https://sava.software/welcome) built by
[Sava Engineering](https://sava.engineering/) that supports most functions to
interact with Solana. If you're using Anchor for your Solana programs, you will
be able to use [anchor-src-gen](https://sava.software/utilities/anchor-src-gen)
with your idl to produce a Java compatible client.
