IDL 2 changes interfaces from IDL 1 while using the same Java package and class names. As such, clients and servers can't run 1.0 and 2.0 code in the same application. This is what we're planing to make the full overhaul of existing DHI code as painless as possible:

Tasks: Todo		uncheck all
Immediately write the 2.0 impl classes when the first release candidate for IDL 2 exists
Repackage the new impls using a special fissures2 package for special proxy servers. This will allow special case code to use 1.0 and 2.0 code side by side.	(Unknown)
Write a 2.0 proxy to a 1.0 server using the special fissures2 packaged code to allow clients to start coding against existing servers
Convert fissuresUtil to 2.0 testing against proxy servers to see if there are any major problems with IDL 2.0
Begin writing clients and servers to take adavantage of IDL 2
Release IDL 2
Release clients based on IDL 2
