Are there any other issues that we need to deal with in adding a new constructor? I am wondering about "net.jini.discovery.timeout" as a system property. Do we want to provide the ability to pass this into the constructor too? I have cases where I want this to be short for some locators and long for others, but have to go with the global setting because of this implementation detail.

The LookupLocator is (in part) a value object. Its role, one of them, is pointing to the place where we can find a Registry. I did a scan of the sources, and i cannot find a place where another jini class actually retrieves the registry from the LookupLocator.

So any implementation that retrieves the ServiceRegistrar can set the individual timeout for the lookup with:

public ServiceRegistrar getRegistrar(int timeout)

I can foresee situations where this method isn't very helpfull to solve the problem of per-locator timeouts.
