[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-1077) JDK ORB Subsystem

[David Lloyd (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12945660#comment-12945660 ] 

David Lloyd commented on WFLY-1077:
-----------------------------------

I don't see why these problems have to be solved.  Maintaining a fork and including the latest bug fixes from Glassfish and OpenJDK gives us the advantages of using the JDK ORB but without the associated problems, as we can release at will.  It won't be our first internal fork of Oracle projects after all, and it won't likely be our last either.

I don't think that having our own OpenJDK team will really help get patches upstream and into useful circulation in less than geological time.

> Implement a JDK ORB subsystem that can act as a replacement for the JacORB subsystem.
> AFAIK, most/all JDK ORBs are based on the Sun ORB.
> Ideally the 2 ORBs (JDK & JacORB) would be both supported in case we need to go through a transition period, or we need to support a particular interop scenario for which interop communication has issues.
