There is a set of open source software available that uses the LIPI interfaces
-- it is named "JTOpen: the Open Source Version of the IBM Toolbox for Java".
You can find it at the following web site:

http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jt400/

Check it out -- you might find you can adapt it to your needs...

In particular, note the following Q&A from the FAQ, relative to licensing and
redistribution:

May I bundle and redistribute the Toolbox classes with my application?

As part of the license agreement for the Toolbox, you are allowed to freely
redistribute the Toolbox with your applications, either in whole or in part.

JTOpen can also be freely redistributed with your application, either in whole
or in part. The JTOpen project is licensed under the IBM Public License, which
has been approved by the Open Source Initiative.

For all the details, see the license agreement that is sent hardcopy with the
Toolbox product:

the License Information document for the JC1 product (document number
GC52-0369-02); and
the International Programming License Agreement (Z125-3301-10).
