MPK20 is built using Project Wonderliand.

Project Wonderland is a Project Darkstar Application.

Thanks for the mention. To clarify things however we have four independent projects here at Sun Labs that relate to your topic.

MPK20: This is our own virtual environment that we are building for use by our remote and on site employees to assist distributed collaboration on work. It is a secure environment that includes desktop application sharing within the virtual world and sophisticated VoIP that includes dial in and dial out to traditional telephones.

Project Wonderland: This is an open source tool kit for building online virtual environments, particularly enterprise environments. It has such enterprise requirements as security and application sharing and VoIP built in.

jVoiceBridge: The VoiP technology that Project Wonderland uses. JVoiceBridge is open source and has been integrated with Project Darkstar.

Project Darkstar: Project Darkstar is an infrastructure product for latency critical event driven applications. It allows the programmer to write simple POJO objects with mono-threaded code and then Darkstar makes them highly scalable, reliable, fault tolerant and transparently persistent. It can be thought of as an “application server” designed specifically for the needs of developers building massively multi player online games and game-like applications.

Most of our current users and community members of Project Darkstar in fact are game developers, not enterprise developers.
