I agree that Cache vs. PojoCache is less distinct than TreeCache vs.  
PojoCache, but at the end of the day we're trying to define a product  
that does a single task of caching data.  As you said, PojoCache  
builds on top of this to add Pojo/AOP based features, so one may  
argue that Cache vs. PojoCache, while being less distinct, is in fact  
more correct.
