Looks like Tim Bray has discovered JXTA (or at least that what I'd put money on).

While he's looking at that perhaps he could explain why Sun have two very similar technologies (Jini & JXTA), both of which are hard to get started with and neither of which has seen the adoption they deserve.

Speaking of Java P2P packages that are hard to use - it's a pity that Bamboo-DHT has gone SO overboard in its use of JDK1.5 features, in particular static imports. "Gee look Mom - now I can simulate global functions. Yay!". Plus, it requires make and Perl to build. Oh the humanity!
