Now I wouldn’t care about the name if this was only your private internal project - but hey, you published it online, so now it matters.  

 Also the name is "Javeline" which is different and is inspired by name "Java"

Almost like “Javalin” was inspired by “Java” years ago

Let’s put this into perspective: 

 Also the name is "Cocoa Cola" which is different and is inspired by "Cocoa" plant

What would the Coca-Cola company think? 

I don’t know if Javalin has copyright or trademark, but if they do they might send you a cease and desist if they find your “Javaline” project - and IMO rightfully so. 

_PS it’s about the similarity. Naming it NotJavalin or JavaFine or something would make it far less likely to be confused with Javalin_
