He wrote a Maven Jini Plugin years ago that could be used to start and
stop the core Jini services.

Thanks for that, I think that Chris's contributions are missed. I am going to deploy Apache River Jini 2.1.1. artifacts to the Rio maven 2 repository and use those as dependencies for Rio 5.0. One of the main reasons is the Jini 2.1 artifacts used the approach of "dl" classifiers for the download (client) artifacts of a service. With the conventions that we have established with Rio, the "dl" classifier no longer makes sense.
With that in mind, look for the new/old Jini 2.1.1 artifacts to be available in the Rio maven repository.
Note: I have resisted requests in the past to publish all Jini artifacts, primarily because they are not under my control. That being said, are there any Jini services (other then reggie & outrigger) that you want me to have available in the Rio maven repository?

Any reason you wouldn't use the River 2.2.0 artifacts? I suppose I do
think it makes sense to reformulate the River artifacts to better suit
Rio--I know I've resisted reformulations in the past. Any chance, you
think, of doing it in such a way that the River community might buy
into the structure? There's definitely more openness to change now
than in the past. On the off chance that they do accept your
contribution they might choose to make minor changes and release their
own artifacts (rather than using yours), so you might consider
addressing your artifacts in such a way that they are clearly Rio
artifacts so they wouldn't collide with a potential future River
artifact of the same release.
The service I've most often wished were available is Mahalo. But If
the other starter kit services might help people see the value of
Jini/Rio I think their inclusion should be considered (weighed against
the cost of implementation).

I'm not sure I understand your direction wrt the reformulation of River artifacts. What do you mean by that? My plan was to simply deploy the artifacts as is. What would you propose the reformulation be?
