I have definitely used the incax almost since its inception. But alas it is not apache and not truely open source. Just thinking we may actually integrate jini into an apache project. Tomcat is used in Glassfish and why not create a JINEE for Tomcat. But a good stepping stone for some would be a tool that integrated into something they had a good grasp of to add some new functionality, help them to get their WOW moment!
