Hehe, even StackOverflow fails occasionally. Try http://krum.rz.uni-mannheim.de/jas/ for a start. Search for "java quadratic sieve" for some more code, although most of the results seems to be more sample code rather than production quality. I vaguely remember there should be up to 12 Java based projects including more or less sophisticated integer factorization stuff, although I'm not current there and most of them could be dead. > About the applications, well, I agree it is not the #1 required > functionality in most applications.

Yes, developing and testing hash algorithms, pseudo random number generators, crypto stuff etc. uses factorization, but everyday use generally doesn't. Apparently you are into serious hard core stuff. As fascinating as these problems most likely are, they are not the primary target for commons math, at least until now.
