How is Mojarra different from Sun's JSF Reference Implemenation?
Is it just a later version? Is it simply a rename?

Mojarra is also commonly used in Latin American countries as a name for various species of the cichlid family, including tilapia.
Common names for mojarra in English include blinch, broad shad, sea patwa, and silver perch. Tilapia are sometimes also included, but this isn't technically correct; the tilapia is a member of a different fish family, even though it shares many of the same physical characteristics.
The Mexican Mojarra is a brackish water fish. They are non-native and originally came from Central America. It has an oval-shaped body. Its color ranges from olive-brown to beige with 6 to 8 blue-green stripes across its body and it has a black spot in the middle.

The Sun JSF Reference Implementation, also known as Sun JSF RI, was named like that, just "JSF RI", from the beginning on until version 1.2_08. The dev team found it an extremely boring and nothing-saying name. They would like to participate with the fancy product code name hype and wanted to have it in line with the "Glassfish" project which JSF RI is part of. After some user community polls (initiated by the good ol' forums.sun.com), the name "Mojarra" was been chosen. Since version 1.2_08, the name "JSF RI" has been replaced by "Mojarra". But it's essentially the same implementation. In other words, Mojarra is the JSF Reference Implementation.
Later, when Sun was taken over by Oracle in January 2010, the company name "Sun" was obviously replaced by "Oracle". And yet later, when Java EE was reowned by Eclipse instead of Oracle in September 2017, the "Java EE" project name was renamed to "Jakarta EE" (for legal reasons because Oracle owned "Java" trademark) and the company name "Oracle" throughout JEE was replaced by "Eclipse".
