I know far too little about Spring in general (i.e. never worked with it) and GBeans in particular (i.e. have not read enough), to be able to provide a good answer. As for Spring, I think the apparent convergence between Merlin and Spring is based on two different starting points. Merlin starting out as a Model-driven architecture, with strong typing, a strong IoC as its base, where as Spring started out with making IoC-style out of JavaBeans.
