With Mark's long explanation of the bazillion things called "Jini", I'd say that its unlikely to be acceptable. But then ... we're a weird bunch and YMMV.

If not hmm probably not; we're currently in the habit of giving grief of that nature to Geronimo stuff. > We're anxious to get going, but the path we must take is unclear > to us. I think there was generally enthusiastic interest in Jini (from me too personally) here, so other than for sorting out the legal issues we should be ok. But then I'm one of many with an opinion and one of (a smaller) many with a vote. Best path is be patient, keep pushing (gently), try to make adjustments as consensus is apparently falling into place, and finally when you feel the need to pull your hair out, pull only one each time .. that way you won't look like me by the time this proposal gets accepted. ;-).
