B4J Question rsync java implementation

[IslandMedic]

I found a java library for rsync. Does this mean it is something that could be used with b4j? The library in question https://fracpete.github.io/rsync4j/java/. I have done a little bj4 coding before but this would be a challenge for me. I am up to the task, just want to make sure I am not beating my head on something that just won't work. Any thoughts would be welcome on this implementation.

1) in the end it still calls the external rsync executable
2) should be able to use it with JavaObject

ok so it looks like there are two java native implementations neither under active development. If I am to build a b4j app to use the rsync binary, then I would need a windows os and a mac os binary correct? Could you point me to an example of using an external binary? Thank you for any input.

You can use jShell to start external programs.
