RFR 8241073: Pre-generated Stubs for javax.management, Activation, Naming

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Alan,

Removal of rmic itself is assigned to Stuart with a fixVersion of 15:
8225319 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8225319> Remove rmic 
from the set of supported tools

I'll see how to test the build-cycle.

Thanks, Roger
