Strange. TM4J uses the internally the native TM4J
merging-implementation and as far as I know there are no known bugs.

Can you post an excerpt of the topic map you're merging?

I assume that the topic map A looks like

     // TM A
     Topic topic1 = tmA.createTopic();
     topic1.createTopicName("Lars", null);

     Topic topic2 = tmA.createTopic();
     topic2.createTopicName("Lars", null);


     // TM B
     Topic topic3 = tmB.createTopic();
     topic3.createTopicName("Lars", null);


     tmA.mergeIn(tmB);

Right?

So, the above simple topic map merge correctly without any loss of
information?

I assume that is the latest CVS version? There where several bug fixes
of TMAPI implementation for TM4J. But I cannot remember the last
check-in.

Best regards,
