This is about refactoring the distributed class loader communication model into the more efficient and scalable model introduced in JPPF 6.1 (see Feature request JPPF-549 - Asynchonous communication between server and client and Feature request JPPF-564 - Asynchronous communication betwen node and driver). This includes both driver/node and driver/client communication channels.

These are the last components to switch to the new model. Once it is done, we expect a number of benefits:

• we will be able to get rid of the old nio code, which should reduce the maintenance burden
• this should also increase the performance, simply because we will remove parts of the code inherited from the old model, which are still present but not used in the new model
• increased performance and scalability, because the new nio model is more efficient
