I noticed that the previous article also said somthing like that, but
"cannibalized" did not sound like a full intigration. 

Does anyone have any information on IBM's Arabica project?  Is it actually
going to be a full merging of the two technologies, or just take parts of
OpenDoc and add them to JavaBeans? 

I just found a wab page last night that discussed CI Labs efforts to do a
compleate intigration, but I did not find anything indicating if IBM was
involved.
