If I do come up with something, I will surely donate it. But first things
first. I've downloaded most of avalon in bits and pieces, some source some
binary, and it takes a bit of puzzle work to get the pieces to work together
because of all the refactoring that going on. I've just downloaded the
altrmi source for the examples and wanted to use the examples with the
binary altrmi jars I got with cornerstone binary. does'nt work because the
example use a altrmi.client.impl.callback package which is not in the binary
distribution....
Anyway, my question is, what's the best strategy at this point to get one
working copy of the whole avalon project including subprojects?

In my case work & socializng have met leaving little gap for open source
:-(  Must fix, will quit job soon ;-)

Yup it could be of use.

Methods getReadLock() , getWriteLock(), releaseReadLock() could be put in an
interface and used in an implementation that it transported over the wire.
AltRMI in itself is possibly too simple for your purposes.  You and Pete
drifted off in to high computing concepts in your mails (and lost me).
AltRMI is quite benign in many ways as it has a distrubuted gabage
collection mechanism that does not at present rely of formal reservation or
leasing (it is transparent).

As for mods to AltRMI, I'd prefer to see them donated back if they are
generic enough :-)
