It’s a little alarming jdeps might report false dependencies? I would rather
spare you the full output. How about…
jdeps halfpipe.jar | grep corba
halfpipe.jar -> java.corba
org.cmdline -> javax.rmi
java.corba

At one point I was adding JSR 223 interfaces into the application. During the
OS X port days when there was no java provided javascript JSR 223 interface yet
I did one for Rhino javascript that included code, based on a blog of yours
actually, that allowed it to pid attach to java processes and do scripting.
Sort of like the Notebook example but again before I knew of any other way to
do this it also allowed attaching to any java process.
One thing I thought the application might work as would be a
monitoring/automation type app. At one point I worked on a IBM mainframe
product for one of those for data center automation - CA OPS/MVS. REXX based
for the language I’m afraid. So a little nostalgia coding getting my app to do
some things similar.
I was thinking of re-doing this code for Java 9. JMX attach now seemed to be
the way to go. jconsole I believe does this successfully and I have started
looking at that to see what it might be doing right that I am not. So far no
matter what I do I always end up with the same rmi: url that is rejected. Even
based on what jconsole seems to be doing.
I thought maybe the missing corba explains this but since that seems to
conflict with the Quartz scheduler I added. Another ‘automation’ like feature.
Maybe I will put this on hold for now.

Also a little sorry to hear the code is crying out but again it may be best to
put it on hold then.

Thanks. I will try to remain aware of these coming related changes.
