Answer 1

I would consider using Apache-Mina as a widely used alternative. We use it for example at oVirt open source project to establish SSH connections between a virtualization manager Java EE application,
and hosts running virtual machines , during a process of Host Registration, and to validate connectiity (via ssh attempt ) to the host.
In addition,
I worked in the past with JBoss-Remoting,
which would give you an abstraction over TCP-based protocols (such as RMI, HTTP and so on).
I used it to build a communication layer from a management application for video processing,
and a stanalone J2SE application responsible for fetching video content for processing.
I am sure there are more options, It really depends on your needs.
