Project JXTA started as a research project incubated
at Sun Microsystems. Its goal is to explore a vision of distributed network computing using peer-to-peer topology, and to
develop basic building blocks and services that would enable innovative applications for peer groups. The project has posted
a draft specification and implementation code to a web site, www.jxta.org under the Apache Software License, encouraging others to join in the
effort. The project is now evolving daily.
