corba choice

["Ingalls, Bruce" <BIngalls iso com>]

I am part of a group trying to learn corba under java.

I would like to know why gnome passed over TAO or (J-) ACE at
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html

I am considering this corba, and would like to hear opinions on others, as
well.
BTW, I did try egrepping the archives for (ACE|TAO|schmidt); no response
yet.:^(
