A single, purely portable ORB would eliminate a lot of these problems. The code would port cleanly to multiple JVM environments and remove a major dependency in a single vendors implementation. Problems will be easier to diagnose because a) the ORB will behave consistently across all JVMs and b) the Geronimo community will be able to debug problems and fix issues when they arise.
Another issue is the license terms of existing ORBs - most of them are LGPL or some other ones uncompatible with ASF License 2.0. I think most of available open source ORBs could easily meet our requirements, but since they're not ASF License-compliant they're of no use for Geronimo.
