I have gone through some parts of JXTA website but not sure is it
alive and kicking project or something which has expired/died? Is
anyone in the community using it for anything fruitful or is it all
pomp and show?
Thanks
JXTA is alive and well. The web site is admittedly a bit out of date
and not super well-organized at the moment. The mailing lists are
where the action is. There are several consumer-applications out
there (like Kerika and WiredReach) based on JXTA with more on the way
(e.g. oponia ucaster.) Also, defence contractors and telecomms use
JXTA extensively, as do research institutions. There's also the Shoal
clustering project which uses JXTA to cluster web application servers...
One caveat: if you want to play around with JXTA right now you should
know that there's a small (and temporary) problem with congestion on
the public super-peers. Hopefully this will be corrected very
shortly, but of you can't connect, it isn't because it's broken or
abandoned, just struggling a bit under a load it wasn't built for.
The public super-peer network is only meant for "sandbox"
experimentation by new users, not as a network for deploying
applications. Unfortunately, it seems a tragedy of the commons has
taken place there in the last couple of weeks.
Hope that helps,
