/**
 * 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
