The Apache MINA project just announced the 1.1.0 release of MINA. This is a significant release because it takes advantage of many of the benefits of Java 5 including the new concurrency library as well as generics and a few other things. It’s very similar to MINA 1.0 as far as functionality goes. For anyone building any kind of network application (client or server) for the Java platform, I have to highly recommend Apache MINA. MINA simplifies things a great deal and as an added benefit, it’s extremely fast. I’ve used MINA for a number of different projects with great success and am currently using MINA as part of my thesis work at BYU.

Here’s to many more releases!
