Code

Publishing is very straightforward. The following explicitly details each element required to publish a ros master. 

   1 import ros.zeroconf.jmdns.Zeroconf;
   2 
   3 Zeroconf publisher = new Zeroconf(new StandardLogger());
   4 publisher.addService("DudeMaster", "_ros-master._tcp", "local", 8888, "Dude's test master");

For ros master services in particular, we could pull ros information directly from rosjava to fill out some of the above details - if you have an interest in getting this implemented contact <d DOT stonier AT gmail DOT com>.

Example

Example code can be found in zeroconf_jmdns_demos (pc) and also zeroconf_android_jmdns_demos (android).
