[Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>

(Would appreciate feedback from other Java users)

Brief: Hazelcast claims to be quite simple and powerful at the same
time.  Well documented.  Not using millions of dependencies from Maven,
all but two are already packaged.

    Distributed Topic for publish/subscribe messaging
    Synchronous (write-through) and asynchronous (write-behind) persistence
    Transaction support
    Socket level encryption support for secure clusters
    Second level cache provider for Hibernate
    Monitoring and management of the cluster via JMX
