Supports the remote spawning of processes at other nodes. A local proxy process strategy is used which attempts to create similar effects to running the process locally. For example the run method of the proxy will not complete until the run of the remote process completes so that a conventional Parallel can be used to synchronize on process termination. Also, any exceptions raised by the remote process will be similarly raised at the local machine.

Refer to the description of RemoteProcess for examples of use. Refer to SpawnerService for details of starting the server process to support the spawning of additional JVMs at a node.

This package is currently in a beta state and the API may be subject to changes.
