One of things that we are hoping to do in JDK 9 is to drop support for the IIOP transport from RMI connector in the JMX Remote API [1]. The motive is modules and the first step on this journey was to downgrade the support to optional from required (something that we did in JDK 8 as part of the Compact Profiles and Prepare for Modules efforts). We're not yet at the point yet where we can change the API docs and remove the implementation but we are the point where we need to build without the IIOP transport. Aside from our modularity efforts, it is useful to have it removed early in JDK 9 as this maximizes the time that anyone using it has to move another transport. This is the first time that I've added a configure option to the build so I may need help getting this right. The patch that I'm currently using is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/8033366/webrev/

I also agree it's good to get this in early to maximize the time to make appropriate change.

jdk/make/profile-rtjar-includes.txt references these classes. Would the profile build ignore if these classes don't exist?
