I suggest 1.5. 1.6 is out and been so for a while now...update 10 is released, 
and annotations, generics, varargs, autoboxing etc all can make Jini easier to 
code. Anyways, that is my suggestion. Maybe there could be some other JAR file 
which can be included for 1.4 like other projects do now days. Personally, I 
would really love to see some kind of a profiles for Jini though. This would 
keep with the general principals on which it was based to be able to be moved 
into other devices. This would mean supporting CLDC(MIDP) and CDC, any thoughts 
here?

Thanks,

Wade
