Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-433:
----------------------------------------------
I tried building the Geronimo M4 source thru Eclipse using Sun's SDK 1.4.2 and
IBM's SDK 1.4.2 . Here are my findings:
OpenEJB seems to have a dependency on Sun's SDK. As of now, I don't know how
this can be made to tolerate non-Sun JREs
I've spent a bit of time looking at you to remove OpenEJB's Sun SDK
dependencies, and have arrived at the conclusion that replacing the Sun
ORB with a truely portable ORB is the only solution. The Sun ORB class
references cause problems with both IBM's SDK 1.4.2 and Suns 5.0 SDK, so
this is not an easy problem to attack. Unfortunately, there appear to
be no portable solutions available for the places where it was necessary
to directly reference the Sun ORB classes directly.
Right now, it looks like the Trifork ORB contribution may be the best
means of achieving SDK portability.
