Guillaume,

Keep in mind the upcoming NetworkManager 
<http://platform.jxta.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1539> (a complementary 
utility to the NetworkConfigurator)

+1 on Groovy project.  A F3 
<http://blogs.sun.com/chrisoliver/resource/demo2.jnlp> UI with a Groovy 
jxta scripting = RAD.


Cheers,
Mohamed
