Why has JXTA been abandoned? Any alternatives out there?

Question

P2p/Grid Computing seem like a promising concepts. JXTA looks like the only all in one framework for it. Is there a reason this field is so sparsely pursued?

Answer 1

If you work with Linux, try this: http://www.p2pns.org/ "P2PNS (Peer-to-Peer Name Service) is a distributed name service using a peer-to-peer network. The current focus of P2PNS is to provide a secure and efficient SIP name resolution for decentralized VoIP ( P2PSIP)." In most cases Name Resolution is enough to build up a P2P-App on top of it.
