Linear Programming Tool/Libraries for Java

Question

I'd like to set up a large linear programming model to solve an interesting problem. I would be most comfortable in Java. What tools/libraries are available?

Answer 1

I used lp_solve with success. It looks like there is a native Java API, but I've only used the text file interface. It supports the semi-standard MPS and LP file formats, which I found more convenient for trying out different solvers (such as glpsol).

Answer 2

There were several suggestions from an earlier question that I posted:

• CPLEX
• Dash
• OptimJ
• COIN-OR
• lp_solve

and possibly more...
