I have just finished writing the GIOP stub and tie code generator that
is needed to develop the applications, using javax.rmi.CORBA package. It
generates stubs and two required types of ties. I tested it with our x5
CORBA game: the generated stubs and ties seem interoperating well with
the code, generated by the Sun's rmic.
Implementing this functionality fixes the bug 25704.
Initially, I wanted to put the new classed to cp-tools branch. However
the cp-tools has the shared build system that (due gcj problems) seems
not providing access to the necessary classes from org.omg domain. Also,
the cp-tools project depends on several external libraries. From these
libraries, ASM must be rather old (the v 2.0 is already not working,
despite the v 3.0 is recently released), and Kawa must be manually
reworked, forging bytecode.jar with FileRoller or other similar tool. As
the GIOP code generator is currently not dependent from these two
libraries, I would suggest to check in it in as a separate branch of the
GNU Classpath project. As the generator cannot be currently compiled
with gcj, it is built as the executable jar archive (runs both under
Sun's jre and jamvm).
The source code is now uploaded to the bug 25704 as the proposed fix.
