MPS is a Message Passing System, similar to, but
not compatible with, CORBA and its IDL. Interfaces
are specified in an IDL-like language; bindings
exist for C++ and Java, on multiple platforms.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
This release supports "mutable structs" and "enums" in the IDL, and has fixes for major bugs when extending MPSIDL interfaces, C++ and Java MPSIDL compiler backend cleanups and bugfixes, slightly better autoconfing, and minor improvements to nsMonitor.
Object-server naming has been split out from Object-server publishing, NamingService interface has changed significantly, bugfixes in the build process, and a new Java GUI for monitoring a NamingService instance.
