Welcome to Jini

You've made the connection to Jini technology, which enables the dynamic networking style of Java distributed computing. Jini technology is an open software architecture that enables the creation of network-centric solutions which are highly adaptive to change. This site spotlights news and information about Jini and the Jini Community, an active set of devotees using, discussing, collaborating, and advancing Jini technology.

Jini Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit v1.0
Sun Microsystems has released the Jini Technology Lookup, Discovery, and Join Compatibility Kit v1.0 (LDJ Kit), a freely available code and documentation bundle that can be used to qualify certain characteristics of hardware or software based on Jini technology. The purpose of compatibility testing is to ensure that programs are good citizens in the environment of Jini technology-enabled services and/or devices. The LDJ Kit is a modified version of the Jini Technology Core Platform Compatibility Kit (TCK), but in keeping with the starter kit's open source licensing model, there is no legal requirement to execute the tests in the LDJ Kit.
