JXTA is a peer-to-peer infrastructure that defines the operations of a peer-to-peer network via a set of language-independent protocols. The JXTA community has been providing various implementations of the JXTA protocols, such as those for Java SE, Java ME, and C.
The latest JXTA 2.4 release for Java SE provides improved configuration capabilities, and moved its logging from Log4J to java.util.logging.
The main configuration improvements center around simplifying the creation of XML configuration profiles. As well, a new configuration API was introduced in this release.
JXTA has long been known for its easy-to-use installation and out-of-box experience in the form of the MyJXTA application. A new version of that application can be downloaded via Java WebStart, or as part of the JXTA distribution.
