Re: Update - Jini Apache Proposal...

If you look at the history of all the projects which have been consumed into
the apache goverance, they have tended to move over the the org.apachenamespace.

So where we used to have net.jini.* we would have org.apache.jini.*, to keep
the net.jini namespace feels wrong to me, and makes the jini libraries
'special' which I think is a bad thing.

I'd back a complete namespace change over to the org.apache namespace.
