If you do a Google search on the phrase, "Java intelligent network infrastructure", it comes up with 563 results, one of which is Wikipedia. Wikipedia says that, 'JINI originally stood for Java Intelligent Network Infrastructure, but it is now known simply as "Jini".' I can see why many people think Jini stands for something. Perhaps at some point someone got Jini confused with JAIN - Java Advanced Intelligent Network (An API/Architecture for telephony).

Hi I've always thought the phrase "Jini Is Not Initials" to be rather weak and totally uninformative. People like initials to stand for something, and will keep on using them even if they are untrue (such as Simple Object AP). So now that the jini is out of the bottle as it were, what would be a good acronym? The Java and Network part seem okay, what should the two I's stand for? I'm having more of a problem with River: Rich Infrastructure for Version-independent Extensible Remoting?
