rename "jnode" branch to "nodej" #21

People often look for nodejs, and some know java. however, if the project has name "nodej", it will be easy for them to search as well. There is a technique called SEO(SEO stands for search engine optimization, the practice of improving websites and content to rank higher in search engines like Google) for this purpose. Maybe if the name is close to nodejs people will easily find this project, and can contribute and help.

It makes sense?

Can I rename the "jnode" project to "nodej"?

Would it be good to rename the project so that it is easily found by GitHub and Google Search?

Besides, from what I've seen it's a new version, would it make sense for a new version to have a different and more commercial name?

But I tend to believe that a more sober, systematic approach to these things (naming, in general) is probably the best way to go, as expressions like "awesome", "nodej", "rad" and "sick" are driven by trends and may not be relevant or expressive enough 5 years from now. But then again, whatever helps drive adoption I guess.

But I am not sure it is, I'm only speculating it may be the case. As I said, my preference is for a more sober, objective language. But I thought this would help with the adoption of this repository too.
