The Seventh JiniTM Community Meeting held this past March at Cambridge, MA, yielded a wealth of information regarding Jini technologies and developments. Following are some of the presentations featured at the meeting.

"Jini and .NET"

by Alexander Krapf, Codemesh Inc.

Kraph discussed his organization's latest project that involved extending Jini technology into the .NET realm, thereby bringing the power of Jini technology to native Windows applications. The technical challenges in integrating JavaTM technology and Jini technology into the .NET world were covered with emphasis on type mapping, integration architecture and P/Invoke & JNI.

"Driving Jini Adoption: A Developer's Perspective"

by Dan Creswell, The Blitz Project/Lone Crusader Ltd.

Creswell, who has been working with Jini since its inception, started The Blitz Project to address adoption issues regarding Jini technology, which has had its share of adoption problems. This presentation summarized Creswell's personal experience with Jini technology, including some of the common myths he's encountered when talking to developers or analysts regarding it. Creswell also offered suggestions on ways the Jini community might evolve to more actively encourage use of Jini technology. Technical and non-technical issues were identified as pertinent concerns by Creswell

-"Development and Deployment Using the Jini Technology Starter Kit...: -

by Brian Murphy, Sun

The "utility model" of the starter kit that is designed for the development of services and clients highlighted Murphy's talk. The starter kits' "un-integrated" tools and utility classes encapsulate common, useful functionality that Murphy contended, when employed appropriately, can help simplify the process of developing and deploying well-behaved services and clients. Murphy emphasized the utility model's flexibility in individual design decisions while it still addresses many important development and deployment needs.
