Tough day huh? River code is ready for release, the next step is to move it into trunk and edit the release notes.
If you want it released sooner, feel free to help out. This has been a large undertaking, granted it contains things that don't interest you, but they do you no harm. After this release I plan to focus on ipv6 discovery support. The lines between the internet and local networks are beginning to blur, ipv6 adoption has almost hit 10%. I don't think forking River on git hub is a good idea, there's always skunk. At least from skunk things can be merged back in. Besides you've got the 2.2 branch and can merge things once you feel comfortable. Parts of the 2.2 branch are pretty buggy, you'll be glad for this code someday. Testing, is part of the release process, this test I'm working on is supposed to stress outrigger, instead it performed so poorly that it doesn't stress outrigger at all. In this case I'm improving test code performance. The jtreg tests highlited some stability issues, they have been fixed. How are the jtreg tests faring on the 22 branch? Would you like some help to get them running again? Regat Sent from my Samsung device.

In the real world, clients discover services pretty rarely, and real-world architects always make sure that communications time is small compared to processing time. In the real world, remote call latency is controlled by network bandwidth and the speed of light. Running in the integration test environment, you’re seeing processor loads, not network loads. There isn’t any need for this kind of micro-optimization.

River on the Internet is your pet, not the community’s interest. Please stop trying to make River on the Internet happen. It’s not going to happen. If you want to indulge your obsession with making River safe for untrusted code, call it something else and go do it on Github, or go to the Incubator and build a new community. This community has talked about it and said it wasn’t interested. Third - You’ve been messing around with “qa-refactor” for what, 4 years now? You keep sending out long emails telling us how great your local copy of River is, and how great ‘qa-refactor’ is. But so far, it’s an exercise in self-indulgence. You complain endlessly about us old Jini types blocking progress, but you refuse to let your work be finished. It isn’t real until it ships and someone uses it. If you want it to be real, you need to quit screwing around with it, and ship something. Recently, you posted: > If I had time, id do the following, I may be able to assist with some tasks: > > 1.

That seemed like a reasonable suggestion. Why not follow your own plan? Sorry to be harsh, but I think it’s time somebody said it.
