Mike, Besides the Blitz standalone JavaSpaces, I am not aware of JavaSpaces implementation that is usable without Jini. Even then you still need jini core at a minimum at least to compile the JavaSpaces interfaces. For example Javaspaces uses the jini Entry Specification, the jini event Specification, the jini Transaction Specification, etc. So the technology is tightly coupled to the core specification of Jini. So to breakoff Javaspaces to "grow on its own" is not possible without including the core. I would suggest checking out Dan Creswell's Blitz project http://www.dancres.org/ because he broke off JavaSpaces and grew it in his own GPL way. Also check out http://www.jini.org/wiki/JavaSpaces_Specification to see exactly all the Jini JavaSpaces couplings.
