In JDK 8 we updated the JMX Remote API and the RMI connector so that support for the IIOP transport is optional. RI and Oracle JDK builds continue to support it, builds of Compact Profiles leave it out (as CORBA and a number of its dependencies are not defined for any subset Profile of Java SE).
I would like to bring up the topic of dropping support for the IIOP transport completely, that is change the RMI connector so that it only supports the default JRMP transport. From what I can tell then this isn't used very widely and I'm curious if anyone would really notice or care. The rational for doing this is the same reason that we downgraded it to optional, it's problematic for our modularity efforts due to the CORBA Tie classes in javax.management.remote.rmi.
So is anyone using it in a way that would be highly disruptive if it were removed in JDK 9?
