New java client released (version 1.2)

[Greg Whalin]

New features in this release:

- New encoding for primitive type Objects which serialize to a much 
smaller size.  Types that will auto-encode using new serialization:
  Boolean
  Byte
  String
  Character
  StringBuffer
  Short
  Long
  Double
  Float
  Date (stored as a long unix timestamp)
  Integer

As with previous versions, there is a setting to turn this off to remain 
compat with other client versions (which will then store as a string 
representation of the object).  Thanks to Kevin Burton for this awesome 
submission.

- Added timeout on initial socket connections (allows for shorted than 
the default OS timeout)

- Unit tests on primitives (thanks again Kevin)

- various other tweaks and fixes

Have at it and let me know if you find any bugs or problems or questions.
