Hmm...  How far could you get with JPython/Jython?  I guess the
problem is the large C component of omniORB in omniORBpy.

In any case, omniORB seems to interoperate fine with JacORB, and
probably with the other java orbs as well.  At least I haven't run
into too many interoperability problems yet.  Note, however, that from
what I have read it is a good idea to stay away from the Orb that
comes with the jdk, so you may want to use a separate orb.

But if anyone wants to extend omniidl so it generates Java Bean code,
I'd be interested.
