I realize some folks are very anxious to start modifying the baseline JTSK codebase that was contributed as soon as possible; taking it in new directions and/or "fixing" all the problems they perceive it to have.
I taste some sentiment in the above and first I thought I'm going to ignore that, but on second thought I think this is not right. If I'm wrong this posting is probably stupid, if so please ignore this. Maybe I'm wrong Brian, but I don't think the general sentiment of those really willing to help out with this project is that a lot is 'broken' or that it should be taken a *complete* new direction. Ok, you hear stories about those awkward public fields in Entries, that Outrigger is not so good, the JTSK is hard to fire up, etc. etc. and that the River project is going to make Jini successful in a way that those suckers at Sun were not able to do. For somebody who worked tremendously hard on the Jini technology I can imagine this sucks a big way. I personally don't agree with the sentiment, nor do most of the others here I guess. So cheer up and ignore the world, like we Jini people are good at (sorry couldn't resist the last one :-) -- Mark
