/**

 * Provides the RMI package. RMI is Remote Method Invocation.  It is a

 * mechanism that enables an object on one Java virtual machine to invoke

 * methods on an object in another Java virtual machine.  Any object that

 * can be invoked this way must implement the Remote interface. When such

 * an object is invoked, its arguments are ``marshalled'' and sent from the

 * local virtual machine to the remote one, where the arguments are

 * ``unmarshalled.''  When the method terminates, the results are

 * marshalled from the remote machine and sent to the caller's virtual

 * machine.  If the method invocation results in an exception being

 * thrown, the exception is indicated to caller.

 * @since 1.1
