Indeed, you need to generate the java source code with the windows
JDK. Some other things....
You also will need to have a C/C++ compiler on Windows, since JavaIDL
use the preprocessor of any existing C/C++ compiler (however they recommend
MS VC++ 4.2 or higher I think :-( )
I was not able to start the nameserver on Linux. I can't remember what
the error message was, but it just didn't work.
