This is a J2EE based web conferencing software. It offers whiteboard, VOIP, PowerPoint or OOo Impress Presentations, and applications sharing. The application sharing at present is restricted to either a 800*600 desktop size or any application you place in a window. The application sharing doesn't require you to open any ports in your firewall or bother about NAT etc, since it essentially uses screen scraping methods. The only restriciton at the moment is that you can't interact with the other desktop, but at least you can see what the presenter is talking about. Considering its only at version 0.4 I believe it can only get much better. You can try a demo on the website and if you like it the software can be downloaded from sourceforge and setup on JBoss. Try having a look at www.webhuddle.com.

There are many commercial projects that do similar things. logmein.com offers a free service. PCAnywhere. GoToMyPC. PCAnywhere. WebEx and other web conferencing services. Basically, I'm thinking about how I might string together some open source tools to make this happen. The real work around would be to use a VNC proxy running on a dedicated server to eliminate the many firewall/NAT issues. It does sound somewhat similar.
