Rod thinks Java and Corba go together like bread and butter when its actually more like oil and water. This is like the promise of common browser based productivity tools promised by the java alliance. So what did they do? Oracle developed Hat Trick, Lotus did eSuite, Corel did JavaOffice, and even Sun was supposed to deliver something. What is the point of eSuite? It is just another proprietary set of tools controlled by a single vendor. The same goes for Java+Corba. The Corba politicians want to make big bucks off something that should be free and ubiqitous. Notice how Ionay doesn't approve of Java orb technology? Has the java alliance learned a lesson or will we see yet another compatability fiasco with the proposed webtop?
