[Lance Andersen]

Hi all,

I think we are at a point where we are ready to start reviewing  the changes to remove the Java EE and CORBA modules as JEP 320, JDK-8189188,  has been  targeted to JDK 11.
The CSR for removing the modules has been approved: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193757 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193757>

 The open webrev can be found at:  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~lancea/8190378/open_changes/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~lancea/8190378/open_changes/>

To make the open review easier, I have broken the changes into 5 webrevs:
