🚀 A2A + ACP Unification: Build Next-Gen Agents with a2ajava

[vishalmysore]

Big news for the agentic AI community! 🎉

With the recent announcement that Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) has officially merged into Agent2Agent (A2A) — and A2A is now donated to the Linux Foundation — we’re entering a new era of interoperability for AI agents. 🌐

✨ What This Means for Developers

The a2ajava SDK is a full-fledged Java framework designed to make building agentic solutions simple and scalable.

• ✅ Hundreds of ready-to-use examples to build MCP and A2A agents in Java
• ✅ Now supports ACP-compatible agents for full backward compatibility
• ✅ Seamless migration from ACP → A2A without rewriting your core logic

This means you can write once and run anywhere — your agents can now communicate using MCP, A2A, and ACP effortlessly. 🔄

🧩 Example Project

To help you get started quickly, here’s a fully working dual-compatible project:

💡 Why This Matters for Java Developers

I believe the Java ecosystem deserves more frameworks and tooling around agentic AI.
With a large number of enterprise systems still relying on Java — and considering that LLM inference often doesn’t require heavy data science work — it’s only a matter of time before Java catches up and becomes a major player in the agentic ecosystem. 🚀

💬 Join the Conversation

I’d love to hear your thoughts — especially from developers, architects, and open-source contributors:

• Should we build more frameworks for Java-based agentic solutions?
• Do you want starter kits for MCP + A2A + ACP integration?
• Would you like me to publish more real-world examples?

Drop your feedback, ideas, and suggestions below. Let’s shape the future of agentic AI together! 🤝
