Developing with JXSE

The JXTA platform is an open network computing platform designed for peer-to-peer (P2P) computing. JXTA is agnostic to programming languages. Therefore, one can start learning about JXTA from any of its implementations. JXSE is the Java implementation, with new extensions provided by JP2P.

Guides

JXSE offers programmer's guides and tutorial code. This is a good starting point for those who want to use JXTA in their applications.

Each recent release of JXSE has contained a Programmer's Guide.

2.7 Programmer's Guide [PDF]

2.6 Programmer's Guide [PDF]

2.5 Programmer's Guide [PDF]

Protocol Specification

If you are interested in the protocols themselves, consult the latest version of the Specification [PDF].
