The enhancements of the new version are:
- A console window is now attached to the RMI Registry process and (by default) it will show the exceptions thrown by the registry.
- It is now possible to provide additional (-J) arguments to the rmiregistry executable.
- RMI Spy now displays the number of elements in arrays that were passed as arguments in remote calls.
- Verified (and improved) support for most recent Sun and IBM JDKs on Windows, Linux and MacOSX.
- Added new "Remote File System" example that demonstrates how one can implement remote file system access (including reading file data) by using the Java RMI framework.
Recently some additional flash demos were created, showing how to create and run a simple print server application with the server running on Linux and the client running on Windows.
You can also read more about the standard features of the RMI Plug-in, such as the stubs builder, the application launcher, registry inspector, RMI Spy and element wizards.
