 *** How to generate the jacorb.jar and idl.jar files in this directory ***

(1) Obtain a JacORB 2.2.2 source tree, with the following command:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.jacorb.org/cvsroot/jacorb checkout -r RELEASE_2_2_2 JacORB

(2) Apply the following patches from the JacORB CVS repository:

cd JacORB

# Do not try to load a stub for CORBA::Object. The attempt will fail for
# sure, as there is no CORBA::Object stub. Moreover, a classloader that
# generates stubs on-the-fly might log an error message to report that
# it was not able to generate the stub. (This was indeed happening in
# JBoss.)
cvs update -r1.112 src/org/jacorb/orb/Delegate.java

# Fix NullPointerException when attempting to load the helper class for an
# IDL-generated valuetype class loaded through the bootstrap classloader.
# (This bug was reported by Hrishikesh Barua.)
cvs update -r1.101 src/org/jacorb/orb/CDROutputStream.java

# (read_TypeCode): Create proper TypeCode for exceptions, fixing bug #602.
cvs update -r1.90 src/org/jacorb/orb/CDRInputStream.java

# Kevin Conner's loopback transport (bug #525, JBoss JIRA issue JBAS-1181).
cvs update -r1.15 src/org/jacorb/orb/iiop/ClientIIOPConnection.java
cvs update -r1.23 src/org/jacorb/orb/iiop/IIOPListener.java
