protobuf-rpc-pro provides a bidirectional async RPC implementation for Java based on Protocol Buffers. Are there other like this (Protocol Buffers not necessary)? This question is similar, but received only replies about Python.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with protocol buffers?
- Louis Wasserman
@LouisWasserman Nothing, and my fallback plan is to simply use PB as replacement for our homegrown serialization library, and send messages/listen for replies using Mina, as we do currently. But PB doesn't provide an RPC implementation by itself.

That is to say, I'm still not seeing why protobufs + protobuf-rpc-pro like you've suggested doesn't address your needs. Meh.
- Louis Wasserman
@LouisWasserman It well may, I'll certainly try it out. Just asked the question in case there are significantly better alternatives which I am unaware of (as I was of this one until today).

Similar to one of the python based answers in the question you linked, there is also a Versile Platform implementation for java called Versile Java (full disclosure: I am one of the developers). It is AGPL licensed and currently in development; if that works for your project you might want to take a look.

Protobuf wiki lists some RPC implementations - see http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns#RPC_Implementations (just in case if you didn't see it)
