# Java

Java 11+ `HttpClient` cookbook using a Basic-auth session
(`vmware-api-session-id`) against `https://localhost`. No third-party
JSON library — responses are inspected with a small string-based field
extractor suitable for a lab smoke.

```bash
cd examples/java
javac Cookbook.java && java Cookbook
```

Override defaults with `VSPHERE_BASE`, `VSPHERE_USER`, `VSPHERE_PASSWORD`,
`VSPHERE_VM_NAME` environment variables. See
[`Cookbook.java`](../../examples/java/Cookbook.java) for the session →
create → power → wait-task → delete flow.

The client installs a trust-all `SSLContext` for the local self-signed
development gateway certificate only — do not reuse it against a real
vCenter.
