Hi Erik
Shoal's service provider implementation (look in
com.sun.enterprise.jxtmgmt package) that talks to Jxta platform
precisely does what you have described.
Shoal provides APIs to consuming modules to get information on who the
group leader is and if a particular member is a leader (look in
GroupManagementService and GroupHandle).
I will update our Shoal wiki page with the leader election algo today
and send in a pointer here.
Thanks
