/**
 * @deprecated RMI support is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Jackrabbit; see Jira ticket JCR-4972 for more information.
 * 
 * Remote version of the JCR {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.principal.GroupPrincipal GroupPrincipal} interface.
 * Used by the {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.server.principal.ServerGroup
 * ServerGroup} and
 * {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.principal.ClientGroup ClientGroup}
 * adapter base classes to provide transparent RMI access to remote item
 * definitions.
 * 
 * The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a
 * corresponding Group method. The remote object will simply forward the method
 * call to the underlying Group instance. Argument and return values, as well as
 * possible exceptions, are copied over the network. Complex return values are
 * returned as remote references to the corresponding remote interface. RMI
 * errors are signaled with RemoteExceptions.
