please tell me, which package-name you would like - that i can start converting the sources.
what do you think of the package name
'gnu.javax.net.afunix'
or
'gnu.javax.net.uxlocal'?
besides it would be nice to allow classpath-independent building of the library - for using it with other vm's. i don't know about the legal issues here - for instance with the name 'gnu' - would it be possible to publish such a classpath-independent version via sourceforge?

Are you suggesting some seamless way of opening sockets yet underneath classpath chooses a unix-domain-socket when appropriate or are you suggesting it would be a gnu.javax library that one explicitly uses?
