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

(1) Obtain a JacORB 2.3.0 source tree, with the following command:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.jacorb.org/cvsroot/jacorb checkout -r RELEASE_2_3_0 JacORB

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

cd JacORB

# The size of a chunk should not include any bytes of padding that might have
# been added after the chunk for alignment purposes. This patch allows JacORB 
# to interoperate with the ORB in Sun's JDK 1.5 with chunking of custom RMI
# valuetypes enabled (jacorb.interop.chunk_custom_rmi_valuetypes=on), as it 
# should be per the CORBA spec. 
cvs update -r1.123 src/org/jacorb/orb/CDROutputStream.java

# In handle_chunking: change to distinguish a null value tag from
# a chunk size tag (the latter must be positive).
# In read_untyped_value and readChunkSizeTag: changes for correctness (to 
# ensure that chunk_end_pos is set to -1 if we are not within a chunk) and 
# for clarity.
cvs update -r1.115 src/org/jacorb/orb/CDRInputStream.java

(3) Apply the patchfile below:
