Re: Generating JXTA_HOME directories for multiple peers for testing purposes

some quick (and late night) thoughts:

  work is underway to run j2se platform in memory only

    basically passing of config data as objects vs a file ref and cache 
management
    refactoring

  port ranges are supported for tcp transports such that upon startup, 
the jxta peer
  will randomly check for a new port w/in a range in the event the 
specified port
  is busy

    http transports are not supported as such at this time given the 
granularity of
    control needed to so the same as is done w/ tcp is a bit lower, in 
this case w/in jetty

  peer names need not be unique ... although it can make debugging and 
the like
  difficult. i often specify a peer name as 
System.getProperty("user.name") + timestamp.

  for programatic configuration, i use ext:config:

    http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Jxta/ExtConfig

    note: issue #1514 is nearing finalization, i use this patch in my 
day-to-day

 hth,
