If I am successful in trying one of the may free Unix/Java/IDL Compilers I will contribute my results to the group. If anyone out there has experience with this already I would appreciate a head's up. >> If this info exists in a FAQ somewhere please point me to it, I am new to >> the list. > >There is no such FAQ for FreeBSD, or any other OS for that matter. >There is a mailing list 'Java-Corba@Luke.org' which might be helpful. > > Already a member! And I think that its JavaCORBA for anyone who might want to join (not Java-Corba, there is a Corba-Dev though).
