As far as I understand, using the word "Java" in your product name is forbidden. IANAL, but that's how I read this document: http://www.sun.com/policies/trademarks/ , esp. the part about re-logoing. The letter "J" is not trademarked, though -- think about JBuilder, JDeveloper, JUnit, AspectJ and so on.
