computer-go: GMP random player in Java

[Peter Drake <drake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to have a random player which implements the Go Modem Protocol 
in Java.  Such a program could be used with any of several existing 
front ends (including JaGo and, I think, ManyFaces).  A short interface 
would enumerate the small number of commands required by GMP -- accept 
a move, choose a move, answer a query about the board size, etc.  
Anyone who wanted to write a Go player would only have to implement 
this interface -- they wouldn't have to even think about I/O.

I'm willing to write such a thing, but of course I'd love it if it's 
already available for free off the shelf.  Is it?
