I assume there isn't, simply because we haven't gotten many RMI bug
reports.

Do the ORP folks have test cases?  Also, see PR 7938 for one test
case.  We haven't done anything with that yet.

Please do.  I don't think anybody is more qualified to review them
than you are.  Certainly I've only looked at RMI in very superficial
ways.

We looked at CORBA once here.  Hopefully Brian will work out the
licensing (I don't recall whether there were problems; I think it was
early 2001 when I looked at it).  org.omg.* is in J2SE, so I suppose
we should ship it.  Adding all those classes is sure going to make
people (and the build system) choke.  Maybe it would be better to do
that through rhug?
