That would be a little difficult - MinML-RPC is intended for systems with
very limited resources (Cellphones and toasters!). These systems generally
support only JDK 1.1 or CLDC. Neither version of Java supports reflection or
the Java 2 Collection classes, for example. MinML-RPC is designed to
minimise the use of heap storage which is not really a concern on larger
systems. I think it would be useful for the code bases to cross fertilise
but MinML-RPC is very much a niche solution and I don't think the
conflicting requirements of mainstream and embedded Java could be happily
reconciled in one source tree (which is why I wrote MinML-RPC in the first
place).
