Hello Eric,
[Please don't top-post on technical lists]
Thank you for your thorough answer. Of course if I don't have to run
libvirtd as a privileged user, then I don't have any problem with
interacting with QEMU through the standard mechanism.
So just to summarize, this is what I understand would suffice for my Java
program to be able to manage VMs through the bindings:
1. Install QEMU, libvirt daemon and libvirt QEMU driver (no worries about
the distribution-specific package names).
Correct.
2. Run libvirtd (probably with the -d flag?).
No need to do this manually; connecting to a qemu:///session URI will do
it automatically under the hood on your behalf.
3. Run Java program with same user that ran libvirtd, using the QEMU
session (as opposed to system) URI.
Correct.
Please correct me if I got anything wrong or if I'm missing another
dependency.
Nope, it sounds like you got it.
