Nexus is an infrastructure for component-based
application development, similar to other such
projects like Bonobo, KOM, and XPCOM. But in
contrast to these projects which are intended to
solve the component-based issues on top of
architectures like CORBA and/or COM/DCOM, the
Nexus design starts at deeper level. In fact, Nexus
uses the very basic COM specification and builds up
its own core facilities (from core to services up to
components), so you can perceive Nexus as a COM-
based CORBA sibling.
