If we really need to. Do we have the list of must-haves add-ons?
For the org.omg.CORBA package, I know about TSIdentification that Ken Cavanaugh
said is possible to be moved to jts module, and the ORB class that exists in 2
locations, JRE and glassfish-corba-omgapi.jar. May be there are more case that I
don't know about. If there are, and there is nothing we can do to fix them, yes,
we need to work around the problem. Otherwise we might be able to fix it the
right way (i.e. remove duplicates and split packages).
If we do fall back into the bootdelegation solution, unless it's too time
consuming, it would be nice to have the list of those classes that we can't fix
otherwise, won't it?
thanks,
