I downloaded the Solaris version from Sun and installed the .class file
(InstallShield) from Linux Java 2, it failed at the end while trying to
install some java extension libraries. Another nameserv I already had
working wouldn't work anymore after that. I had to reinstall Java 2.
If you do get it in ok, it provides a set of classes (zip not jar for
some reason, from IBM, ibm???.zip) which is a pure Java idltojava
compiler which worked fine.
However, the nameserv shipped with the Solaris version was a native
binary (come on Sun, what's up?) so I ended up using ORBacus:

I tried JacORB too, but the ftp site was still disallowing downloads
after their reorg last week.

Both are pure Java; ORBacus worked fine for me.
