So we no longer do names like "Apache SOAP" because they give the impression that there can be just one and only on implementation of the technology in Apache. I know changing the name is a *really* tough thing for Jini. However, is Jini a *technology* or an *implementation*? If its the prior I'm afraid our current guidelines are not to do technology names. Do we do exceptions? Nothing is impossible in ASF land but its something we need to discuss (yes in public).
