Connect Your Phone With Any Other Devices with JXTA

Two exiting news about JXTA :-)  First, the JXTA community just released an enhanced JXTA bidding (jxta-jxme 2.5) for J2ME MIP2.0.  If you want to learn more about the new JXTA MIDP 2.0 implementation and check how to connect your phone with a PC and  printer, check Mohamed's video.  Second, Bondolo just announced the availability of a Grizzly NIO patch for the JXTA Java SE binding that is going to drastically reduce thread resource consumption when JXTA peers accept incoming HTTP connections. Great to see another collaboration between the JXTA and Glassfish(Grizzly) open-source community.

JXTA Community latest "triple play" releases deliver JXTA ubiquitous network vision

This week the JXTA community executed an impressive "triple-play", releasing simultaneously, for the first time in the project history, 3 different implementations of the JXTA P2P protocols. The 3 implementations are fully compliant and interoperable enabling the deployment of self-organizing, scalable, and secure P2P applications on devices ranging from sensors, phones, ipods, PDAs, PCs, TVs, STBs, DVRs, servers and supercomputers.

1)JXTA-J2SE 2.3.4 (Arroz Congris)

2)JXTA-J2ME 2.0 (Arrakis),

3)JXTA-C/C++ 2.1.1 for Solaris, Linux, Win, and embedded RTOS (Disney).

Sun also announced that Boeing, the lead systems integrator for the U.S. Army's multi-billion dollar Future Combat Systems (FCS) project, has selected the JXTA technology to provide the P2P discovery service for the U.S. Army FCS global network infrastructure.

These latest announcements highlight the continue growth and maturity of the JXTA technology, making JXTA the leading P2P Platform for deploying ubiquitous commercial applications.

JXTA will have a significant presence at JavaOne to reinforce its commitment to the Java developer community.

JXTA community members will also be on hand to share their experiences and expertise on developing and deploying JXTA applications at the JXTA Community Townhall meeting. Please come meet with us and learn about the unique capabilities of the JXTA network for deploying highly-resilient, self-organizing, and scalable ubiquitous network solutions.

XML implies language independence, JXTA
implies network independence."

JXTA on the Move: Boeing selected JXTA for the U.S. Army Future Combat Systems

While we keep hearing about the misuse of P2P technology for sharing copyright materials in the press, it is nice to point out that there is more to P2P, and P2P presents unique values and capabilities to build scalable, dynamic and highly reliable network infrastructures. The JXTA open-source community is continuing its growth and successes building the leading open-source P2P platform.

Today, Sun announced that Boeing selected the JXTA technology to provide the peer-to-peer (P2P) discovery service for the System of Systems Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE) for the U.S. Army's multi-billion dollar Future Combat Systems (FCS) initiative. JXTA unique P2P virtual network layer and decentralized discovery service is providing unique values to Boeing for deploying FCS within highly dynamic and distributed network environments.

Sun's Boeing JXTA announcement

This is great news for the P2P and JXTA community as this is bringing another legitimate usage of P2P. Really no excuses for not trying JXTA now :-)

The JXTA latest platform releases are out!

The JXTA community just announced yesterday the availability of two new releases of the JXTA P2P Platform: JXTA J2SE release, 2.3.3 "Pyrogy", and JXTA C/C++ release, 2.1 "Capri". Both the JXTA "Pyrogy" and "Capri" releases provide a number of feature enhancements, performance improvements, as well as enhanced platform capabilities

You can access these releases via the jxta.org download page: http://download.jxta.org/build/release

These releases have been designed to be API and protocol backwards compatible with previous JXTA J2SE and C/C++ 2.x releases, and are fully interoperable.

No excuses for not building your JXTA-based applications, and entering the JXTA world where every peer resource in the network can be leveraged.

Time to cast your JXTA P2P Vote!

As a sign of an healthy and growing open-source community, the JXTA community
is holding its third election to fill two openings on
