The recent work related to yoko reminded me that I think I recall being told that if we don't export any corba classes from the osgi framework we won't need to put the corba spec bundle in endorsed, rather it can be a regular bundle. I won't have time to investigate how true this is any time soon but it might make life with corba much simpler.
I don't know if the rmi spec jar can supposedly also be a regular bundle. thanks david jencks
