Is JINI dead?

[Albert Deinbeck]

I read about JINI and found it a very interesting approach. However, books
and infos are sparse and outdated and so are applications using it.
Is JINI dead and what did it die from?
Do you have other experiences?

when I got to the part about getting my corporate lawyers
together with their corporate lawyers to hammer out a deal,
well, I decided I could use rmi a whole lot easier.

Jini in general and JavaSpaces in particular are far from dead.
I work for a company that is using those technologies very
successfully to build business systems. See

So it's licensing problems? What's the difference to other popular API's
like RMI or LDAP?
