phpwhois is a script for PHP that allows you to perform whois lookups on any domain:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwhois/
Does anyone know of a comparable Java package that can accomplish the same thing?
Thanks!

Jakarta Commons NET claims to support Whois. Haven't used it, but generally Jakarta has reasonable APIs.
Looking at the API docs, it appears to be very easy:
WhoisClient whois;
whois = new WhoisClient();
try {
whois.connect(WhoisClient.DEFAULT_HOST);
System.out.println(whois.query("foobar"));
whois.disconnect();
} catch(IOException e) {
System.err.println("Error I/O exception: " + e.getMessage());
return;
}
