> The javax.ejb.api module depends on javax.rmi.api. But I can't see any reason why; the code in the spec jar does not import anything from any of the classes in the javax.rmi and org.jboss.javax.rmi packages that the javax.rmi.api module exports.
> This is important because javax.rmi.api brings in a huge dependency tree.  That module is really just a wrapper around javax.orb.api, exporting a subset of its packages. And javax.orb.api is a misnomer -- it's not just API, it's the entire orb, with implementation dependencies that transitively bring in a large chunk of the entire appserver codebase.
> So if javax.ejb.api does not need javax.rmi.api we need to remove that link.
