Jini technology is a service oriented architecture that defines a programming model which both exploits and extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure, distributed systems consisting of federations of well-behaved network services and clients. Jini technology can be used to build adaptive network systems that are scalable, evolvable and flexible as typically required in dynamic computing environments.

Jini is designed to help developers deal with [http://weblogs.java.net/jag/Fallacies.html The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing]. Jini offers a number of powerful capabilities such as [[Discovery|service discovery]] and [[Mobile code|mobile code]].

The term Jini refers to both a set of [[:Category:Jini Specifications|specifications]] and an implementation; the latter is referred to as the [[:Category:Jini Starter Kit|Jini Starter Kit]]. Both the specifications and the [[:Category:Jini Starter Kit|Starter Kit]] have been released under the Apache 2.0 license and have been offered to the [http://incubator.apache.org Apache Software Foundation's Incubator].
