Re: Groovy + JXTA

I'm "trying" to use JXTA a bit at the moment, so if ever I manage to
find some places where some Groovy wrappers might help, I'll try my
best.
A first area is the configurator, for instance.
But I'm sure we might add some other interesting stuffs.
But I'm not a guru of JXTA in any way :-(
