Hi, If your project is to run remotely from the pi, then you will need to 
consider the security aspects of the communication.  NUT's upsd supports a 
version of TLS so old that recent TLS implementations will not talk to it.  An 
example is the "recent" version 3.4 of Python released in March 2014 which is 
itself so old that it is no longer supported and has no more security fixes.

The same problem may well exist for Java.
