LiveObjects comes to Java: navigating shared state with the path API

Shared state is a hard problem in the unglamorous sense: the concepts are well understood, but someone still has to build the conflict resolution, the reconnection handling, and the state recovery before anyone can ship the feature that depends on it. That's what LiveObjects is for, and the path-based model that reshaped the API in JavaScript is now available to Java developers too.
