Lev and others: You mention "access to the new functionality in this layer" below. What new functionality are you describing? (or hoping for). Cheers, Greg.

This actually means another project (think of the concurrency utils backport project). A Jini system does not care how things are implemented, so provide a Jini-River adapter toolkit. This would be identical to the current Jini toolkit (same classes, same directory layout), but would connect to the River implementation. > > Migration will be done as one sees fit, but please allow access to the new functionality in this layer.
