JackORB exists for a comparatively long time, but during this time, it has never been contributed to Classpath. The JackORB licence has never been changed into Classpath license, and the copyright has never been transferred to FSF. As a result, I have not had a possibility to reuse the JackORB code and reimplemented my own.
This is true not just for the public classes in omg.org.CORBA and related, but also for the WORKING CORE CLASSES in gnu.CORBA package. These classes are now - sorry - more or less complete for the version 1.2. The code is of course not mature, but it is covered by multiple tests from the former CORBA open source testing package, cost.omg.org. Classpath CORBA is fully interoperable with Suns implementation 1.2. And, as a side effect of the required compatibility, you can use the Sun 1.3 IDL compiler before somebody will write or adapth a Free one. Under such circumstances, I see no reason of using any part of JackORB under its present license a least for the 1.2 and 1.3 releases.
