I don't really understand what you mean here.

You mean getting all RMI related classes sources from here and add them 
to our Android apps? I don't know exactly how many classes are concerned 
here but I am afraid it's a bit heavy

But what about class org.jacorb.orb.Reference class simply inheriting 
from org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl as it was in previous JacORB release
when the no-rmi compilation option was supported?
To start our application on the Android device,  this is what we did but 
manually and we are not sure that this is a 100 % sure fix.

Regards

Emmanuel
