  27  * Provides the RMI package. RMI is Remote Method Invocation.  It is a
  28  * mechanism that enables an object on one Java virtual machine to invoke
  29  * methods on an object in another Java virtual machine.  Any object that
  30  * can be invoked this way must implement the Remote interface. When such
  31  * an object is invoked, its arguments are ``marshalled'' and sent from the
  32  * local virtual machine to the remote one, where the arguments are
  33  * ``unmarshalled.''  When the method terminates, the results are
  34  * marshalled from the remote machine and sent to the caller's virtual
  35  * machine.  If the method invocation results in an exception being
  36  * thrown, the exception is indicated to caller.
  37  *
  38  * @since 1.1
