Nobody should be using com.sun.corba.se.impl directly so the change 
looks good to me.

The @summary in the tests suggests it was originally written for JAXP so 
if the test scope is extended then that summary will need to be updated. 
I also note that the test only uses checkPackageAccess so I don't think 
it actually checks entries on the package.definitions list. We should 
probably write a more complete test, although I'm not suggest you have 
to do this here.
