[classlib][rmi] Code smell - Thread.sleep() in ActivationGroup method

[Nathan Beyer]

I found this bit of code in the java.rmi.activation.ActivationGroup. I
snipped the calls to the RMI logger, for a bit more clarity.

   protected void activeObject(ActivationID id, MarshalledObject mobj)
           throws ActivationException, UnknownObjectException,
RemoteException {
       try {
           Thread.sleep(500);
       } catch (Throwable t) {
       }
       // ...
       monitor.activeObject(id, mobj);
       // ...
   }

Fighting my instincts, I checked the javadoc for this method and it
doesn't say anything about putting the current thread to sleep for
one-half of a second, so I'm pretty sure this is a hack of some sort.
Anyone have any thoughts about why this is needed? The tests run fine
with out this extraneous sleep.

BTW - There is a LOT of logging in the RMI module; can we blow this stuff away?
