[jacorb-developer] Jacorb 3.x, RMI and Android

[Nick Cross]

Hi,

The org.jacorb.orb.Reference / no-rmi option was changed when early JDK 
1.3 template files were removed. JacORB now requires 1.6 or greater to run.

Saying that, while I have not tested JacORB on Android, I would be happy 
to help with any issues.

For your reference issue, would it be possible to create some dummy stub 
classes or to try obtaining the RMI classes from 
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath which might be sufficient for your 
use-case?

Regards

Nick
