I'm checking this in.
This further updates the Java web pages to account for the RMI import,
and it addresses a grammatical confusion pointed out by Gerald.

- So, if anyone would like to help out I would appreciate it. I have
- a free implementation of RMI ("NinjaRMI") that is quite

- <p>Note that this is NOT Java RMI per se; it is just very similar in
- functionality and design. You might want to steal some classes out
- of it to get RMI support in libgcj. However, it does require some
- classes in java.* and sun.* which are not part of libgcj.</p>
- </blockquote>
- <p>It may be possible to use the JavaParty's <a href="http://wwwipd.ira.uka.de/%7Ehauma/EfficientRMI/">RMI
- implementation</a>, but the licensing is much more restrictive than
- that of NinjaRMI. Details below:</p>
- <blockquote>
- <p>The much faster drop-in RMI and the appropriate efficient serialization
- is designed and implemented completely in Java without any native
- code. Moreover, the re-designed RMI supports non-TCP/IP communication
- networks, even with heterogeneous transport protocols. As a by-product,
- there is a benchmark collection for RMI. </p>
