Java gaming - Project Darkstar

Get your Game On with Project Darkstar is  a  new article on www.sun.com about Project Darkstar - Sun's new gaming framework designed to allow gamers to produce massively multiplayer online games that can scale to thousands of simultaneous players.  Darkstar allows game developers to focus on the building a fun game instead of having to figure out how to build a scalable infrastructure  ... that means a quicker time to market, and a more reliable and scaleable system.  Scalability is key for MMOs, if an MMO can't keep up with demand it is DOA.

The SDK is free and can be downloaded from games.dev.java.net.

As a MMOG hobbyist, I was excited about Darkstar and checked it out immediately when it came out, but was sorely disappointed. I had expected to find actually useful stuff like rule/state engines and guidelines for using them in MMO development, but for naught.
