I've just done a quick search for uses of NameServiceImpl and the only
thing I could find was in NameServiceDescriptorImpl.  And I couldn't
find any references for that.

Given that the package is "com.sun.jini.test.impl.reggie" for both of
these classes, can I assume that they're for some test only?  Does
anyone know what they're for?  Can we just remove them?  (I love
deleting code!)

I'm sure you guys are aware of the problem, but for anyone new to the
party; NameServiceImpl implements NameService which is an *internal*
Sun class, which by rights we shouldn't really be using anyway.  The
return type of a the lookupAllHostAddr method differs from Java 5 to
6, so we're unable to build a release that satisfies both Java
versions.

If we can't get around this, it looks like we might be stuck at Java 5
and only 5 until we come up with something clever.

This is disappointing because I was hoping to build some new release
candidates tonight...

Thoughts?
