Getting the point is a big problem with most of the `projects' listed above. At least, Corba is in essence just a protocol, vendors are the guys that make it look very bloated, but there are a lot of good free implementations out there which make it worthwhile. J2EE is extremely flawed. Although JBoss is a nice project and I wish Marc and his crew a lot of success, it is still very terrible to use in production mainly because the J2EE specification is not that clever and their own reference implementations (Tomcat/Catalina) is extremely buggy and they do not behave as specified or even to date have buggy security code. Not to mention that sometimes configuration directives are simply `forgotten' etc... the list goes on. However, a framework for writing sensible distributed applications can be quite a good thing and if Jtrix has a more sensible approach AND a good implementation + spec then it might be worth looking into it. But I'd approach it with a very skeptical eye because I'm quite hype-shocked by now.
