RE: Groovy + JXTA

I agree with you Guillaume!

Recently I've worked with some Groovy's libraries (for a prototype using =
an Enterprise Service Bus) that simplify greatly SQL and XML =
manipulations.
The same thing can be done with JXTA!

Objet=A0: Re: [JXTA user] Groovy + JXTA

In fact, it wouldn't have to be a "port" of JXTA in Groovy, but the
idea could be to provide a thin layer on top of the JXTA apis that
would add some more "grooviness" to them :-)
