Thanks for your interest. No one is working on RMI currently. I know that Paul Fisher was looking for existing RMI implementations that we might be able to adopt. Hopefully he will say something about this. If you plan to implement RMI (which would be awesome!) I suggest using the JDK to do so rather than Japhar+Classpath. If you write a drop-in replacement for RMI that works with the JDK, then it should work with us as well when you drop it into Classpath. But to answer your questions, networking is in. I have done some testing of it, but nothing hyper stressful. I believe it is ready to be used. Serialization was not written by me, but I believe it is also substantially complete. The real problem is that our classes are not yet serialization compatibile with the JDK. We need to go through and make sure that we serialize extactly the fields in the spec, which unfortunately is still lacking in some areas. So Classpath RMI currently will not interoperate with Sun's classes until we fix that. (And of course, until we get RMI written....)
