      This paper presents a library of meta-objects suitable for 
      developing distributed systems.  The reflexive architecture of 
      Guaraná makes it possible for these meta-objects to be easily 
      combined in order to form complex, dynamically reconfigurable 
      meta-level behavior.  We briefly describe the implementation of 
      Guaraná on Java.  Then, we explain how several meta-level services,
      such as persistence, distribution, replication and atomicity, can be 
      implemented in a transparent and flexible way.
