title: Easiest way to use LDAP in Java (Eclipse)
body: <p>I'm currently working on a small project where I have to use LDAP in Eclipse (for Active-Directory access). I want to get the Usernames, create a new user, delete a user.</p>
  
  <p>I actually never worked with LDAP before and I had a few difficulties with finding a well explained step-by-step tutorial to start with. In addition it seems that every tutorial seems to use a different API (OpenLDAP, Apache Directory, UnboundID, Spring Framework ect.), which confuses me. Which API should I use?</p>
  
  <p>I would be very thankful if you would have some hints on how to get started with LDAP.</p>
