most applications have a name that doesn't imply it's use but are catchy, right?
Gimp, Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, Inkscape, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Gnumeric, ...

I think the catchyness is more important than implying it's use.
SynthJ, JSysexManager or JSynthManager are not really an improvement.

That's a point.

If we start a name context I'll throw in:
- Jones (*J*ava *O*pen source *N*ice *E*ditor and librarian for *S*ysex)
- Jamidiquai
- MIDIthang
- No SysEx till marriage
;)

May the winner get eternal praise.

Cheers
Joachim
