Java client for the DICT network protocol

This project is a Java implementation of a subset of the DICT (RFC 2229) protocol. The DEFINE command is currently supported. It consists of the following classes:

• DICTClient, which implements the DICT protocol and defines an interface DICTClient.Backend, which is implemented by:
• TCPClient, which is responsible for the communication over TCP;
• TCPShell, which implements a REPL shell for communication over TCP. It can be invoked as follows: java TCPShell HOSTNAME [PORT].

The corresponding unit test classes are found in the test subdirectory.
