Fischerle 0.9.30b by Mr.Roland Stuckardt/Germany !
Over 2100 ELO on CCRL ! UCI protocol !
Unlisted on ComputerChessWiki !?!?!? Don't know it , Norbert ???
Not a single word about it in CCC ? Scandalous !!!
Here it is (both .jar+ .bat files, logos, GUI.........):
=============================
the 42-nd free Java chess engine I know:

Silvian,
only Ron posts novelties/updates into "Chess Engine List"
respectively "CCWiki Forum" and I have tested another Java application
Javalin during the last days.
When I tried to embed the .jar-file of Fischerle into ChessGUI (UCI1+Java) or Arena > own interface is opened itself (chessboard with blue-white fields and squares instead of seeing the white and black pieces)
Perhaps an extra commandline parameter like -u (Absolute Zero/GNU Chess 6.1.1 TM) is required to run normally with UCI-mode.....
Best wishes,
Norbert

@Norbert: The Fischerle readme file indicates that you need a specific font, "DadaChessfield CB-Comptible", for the 'own GUI' to display properly. I did not see mention of how to suppress the GUI.
@Silvian: Thanks!
Ron

Hello Maestro Ron !
Hello Norbert !
Fischerle 0.9.30b
runs very well in Arena 3.0 GUI -Windows XP SP3 32-bit OS !
Use -please - the Java .jar executable (existing in "dist" folder) via the .bat file (existing in the zipped archive).
Every Java 64-bit engine (only the Java .jar executable) can run also under a 32-bit Windows OS !
Have a nice day !
======================================
A request: maybe someone here can give us a binary (jar/exe) of a nice Java chess engine :
Calculon of Mr. Barry Smith ! The source-code (revision 69) is here:
http://svn-barrysw19.forge.cloudbees.com/calculonx/
THANK YOU A LOT IN ADVANCE !
======================================
SilvianR
THANK YOU again Maestro Ron for your irreplaceable ComputerChessWiki !!!!!

Fischerle works with jar-file + commandline parameter uci on Arena 3.5 too - but I had no luck with the batch-file - no moves were executed.
uci -commandline component > no propietary interface of Fischerle will be executed

That's because of I use Arena 3.0. (a lot of better for eng. vs. eng. matches). The original .bat file is OK:

For an older hardware like
Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB RAM and 512 MB graphical card the default of .bat-file must be changed, e.g. into
java -Xms700m -Xmx700m -XX:+UseParallelGC -jar "dist\Fischerle.jar" uci > Fischerle runs now with .bat-file on Arena 3.5 well
You can use
Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ for that purpose
