You can put me in the Java5-camp as well. IMHO, classloading-capable devices are quickly reaching Java5 minimum, and I think no one ever seriously deployed Jini on small devices. > 2.

With a Java5 move, this is a moot point, right? Even so, we don't need to distribute sources on code that we don't create/modify ourselves. Binary dependencies also have a wider choice of licensing options.
