Yes, that's right.

No. It's easy to use the libraries of JDK1.2 on Linux. One must make sure to add
rt.jar to the *end* of the classpath, so that only the org.omg libraries are used from
there,
and swing etc. are not. Of course, none of the binaries work, but I use jikes and the
JDK1.1.7 vm, so I only need the idltojava compiler (which is not all that good, BTW)
from 1.2. This I run on a Solaris box. I point my java compiler to proxies there. It's
nice to keep generated files in a separate directory anyway.
So, I run everything on Linux, with the exception of that compiler.

You've misunderstood. I replied to another email from Marcel and forgot to cc the
list, so I'm forwarding it now. It has some of my observations regarding our
experiences
with JDK1.2 and omniORB.
