This is good news! The subject line had scared me :-) Thanks for keeping us informed.

I finally got a Geronimo build created with both yoko and sun CORBA configs. The yoko config ran fine, and I was trying to figure out what tweaking was necessary to get the sun version to work. At a minimum, I figured I would need to remove the yoko jar files from the repository. Imagine my surprise when the sun j2ee-corba config started up just fine, with no change at all to the assembly. I was able to continually switch back and forth between between the yoko and sun ORBs without any failures. It appears that the yoko ORB is incompatible with the sun version of the org.omg.* classes, but the reverse is not true. The Sun ORB appears to work well with the yoko spec classes on the classpath. Not at all what I expected, but certainly a satisfying development! I did an additional experiment, and tweaked the sun configuration to use a different set of listener ports. Using different listeners, I was even able to start both ORB configurations at the same time! I was only able to do this manually. There appear to be some timing issues with trying to load both at startup. Since both ORB configurators rely on System properties to set some values, this is not entirely surprising. I suspect there might be some strange side-effects show up if you trying to run applications with both enabled, but the fact the yoko jar file on the classpath didn't cause a problem makes life a lot easier.
