Development for the jxta 2.8x release has been moved to the Chaupal Project. Currently a few bugfixes and a move to Spongycastle has been prepared. We hope to make a milestone release available soon.

Have you been to http://jxta.kenai.com/ ? This seems to be the official site for now at least.

Even though many of the links found for JXTA on Google etc seem to be dead, development seems to be moving along with a new release of 2.7 recently.

One of the most active people on JXTA appears to be Jérôme Verstrynge (project lead maybe?) who has an account here on SO: JVerstry Hopefully he will come and give us more details!

He released a book as updated book on JXTA last year which I am about to buy from Amazon. You can take a look at it on Scribd if you can bear to read it in that format ;-) http://www.scribd.com/doc/47538921/Practical-JXTA-II

Take a look at http://java.net/projects/jxta/ and drill down for mailing list archives, forums and access details for the SVN repos for the various sub-projects

I think a lot of the reason things seem to be in limbo is that there is a proposal to move the project to be hosted as an 'incubator' project under Apache Software Foundation but Oracle are not allowing the guys to take the name JXTA with them (and so the new name Chaupal) and are currently remaining tight lipped over whether they will allow the project to be relicensed under the newer Apache license.

See here for more details: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ChaupalProposal

Personally I really hope the Apache move goes ahead, the project is is becoming more and more relevant in this day and age of walled garden platforms and centralised web services IMHO.

Edit: According to JVerstry the project hosting is moving to http://code.google.com/p/chaupal/ as we speak :-)
