a fairly complete description of ed2k protocol messages (packets) can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdonkey

>Is edonkey protocol fully implemented ?
no, but enough to get files from one host to an other.
missing messages:

I'm looking around into jmule sources files before starting doing anything.
I'd like really to help jmule with documentation because it is a very good exercice to understand the api....

I start to have lots of idea about jmule, and lots of idea for evolutions....
What's about splitting jmule in two parts :
- one for the protocol api to well document it, improve it, thinking about implementing others P2P protocols ( why not ?)
- one for Jmule fonctional and UI facing.
One other part I'm brainstorming on it : creating the ui "on the fly" and creating an ui independant frame work to make ui interchangeable by using standardized XML templates and standardized ui api... I know that it is not a really new idea, but i think it will be really usefull

...
For the moment I'm a little lost in this new world for me, but work is in process

Thanks again for the really great job already done...

Improvements to the docs ( both user and developer centric ) are always very welcome. Ever some questions : Why is it done this way ? could help to improve the quality of the code. So as stated before by RastaMooGle, just look at the code, and if you feel something is unclear just post a new topic with the issue.
I have even thougt about some wiki - updateable javadocs ( as it would eliminate the 'i have to start my IDE to fix this little typo' barier ), but havent come to anything usable yet.

Doing interactive GUIs:
I have researched some sort of things like this ( if i understand you correctly ), by using the charva extension ( for the java terminal usage ) and the beanshell scripting. Your idea with using xml templates is going into the direction like the luxor project i guess, but is still easly possible with the bean shell extensions too.
In my private development version i gone as far, that i droped completly the command interpreter and replaced it with one bs interpreter command, which just executes the commands like nativ bean shell instructions: the real power for a java programmer, but not that easy to master for the masses... i guess.
