rvannieuwpoort writes "Ibis 1.0 has been released. Ibis is a flexible and efficient Java-based programming environment for Grid computing. Ibis improves Java's serialization and RMI performance up to a factor of 10. It also extends Java with a range of communication paradigms, including group communication, divide-and-conquer and collective communication. An additional nice feature of Ibis is that it can communicate through firewalls, without opening ports, using TCP. Ibis is free software (BSD-style license). It runs on any platform that has a Java 1.4 or higher JVM."

Included in Sun Java? by 0x461FAB0BD7D2 · 2004-11-26 08:11 · Score: 4, Interesting

Could this ever be included in the Sun's Java SDK or JRE/JVM?

It uses a BSD-style license, so it should be fine. Schwartz and McNealy claim to be open-source friendly. And given that it improves development for Java, would Sun consider adding it to their Java, in some form? This would definitely put it over .NET, IMO.
