XML-RPC WordPress client in Java

This code is an XML-RPC WordPress client written in Java. Note that you must first enable XML-RPC on your WordPress site which is under Settings > Write > Remote Publishing. Note also that you require xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar, xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar and ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar on your classpath. These jar files can be found in the Apache XML-RPC distributable which is available in the mvnrepository if the Apache mirrors are unavailable. The WordPress website shows the full list of methods available.
