You appear to be looking at the Place API, not the ServiceUI API. The ServiceUI API is here:
http://ww.artima.com/jini/serviceui/index.html
Previously, the Place API was in the net.artima.place package and subpackages, but it is currently in com.artima.place. You can download version 0.3 and look at its JavaDoc. The specification was written for 0.3, so all that stuff should be consistent. The Place API is part of the cyberspace project:
http://www.artima.com/jini/cyberspace/index.html
The API has evolved quite a bit since 0.3, though. You can get a glimpse of the next release (0.4) via the JavaDoc on that same page.
The cyberspace project hasn't been receiving many cycles the past year. I did travel all the way to Copenhagen last summer to spend some time with Berco Beute and Jakob Larsen. We did a fairly major refactor, and the API improved and simplified a lot. I also more recently visited Frank Sommers in LA and we worked on the project a bit. We talked about a lot of things in the API, but it ended up we didn't change a thing in the API. We did create an applet that runs the demo, i.e., the applet allows Jini services with service UIs to be run in a browser.
The Place API feels quite mature. I have a one hour Place API design review of sorts scheduled with the Jini architects in Boston in mid-April. Before then we will throw anything we aren't sure of out of the API. Look for the 0.4 release by April. Both Frank and Jakob (all the way from Europe) will be visiting me around JavaOne week, and we will be working on it some more with the objective of getting another release out the door.
