Well yes, of course networking should be reliable. Otherwise it's basically useless. Java of course has everything necessary for reliable networking, no problems there. Proce55ing however, is still in alpha and they don't try to hide the fact that it's still in developement and mention themselves that they're still working on proper socket implementations. It shows a lot of promise.

Another thing that complicates matters is that proce55ing seems to have problems with keeping sockets open.
That's a key problem. Unless you can't solve this problem, any kludge is basically useless. For local communications, on the same computer or on the same LAN, it's more important, because UDP would be the favored transmission mode.
I don't know much about Java (I prefer not to use it because its proprietary), but I think networking should be reliable.
