Reliable and complex
Jena is a very reliable and complex tool. It is suited for creating large Semantic Web Applications like, for example, ITerating. Making a proper use of Jena requires not only a good understanding of RDF but also knowledge about how Jena itself works. Otherwise it can be very misleading and turn out as tricky to write code in some situations. That's why it's a good advice to listed to the authors when they say: "Implementing too quickly, without first understanding the RDF data model, leads to frustration and disappointment." Found out myself how very true that is :) Once you've understood how it works, you can implement practically anything you need for your application, and quickly.
