/**
* 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
