[PATCH] Remove dependency on JScheme for generating CORBA exceptions

[Andrew John Hughes]

At present, a number of exceptions for CORBA are generated using a
script written in JScheme.
JScheme is thus included in the CORBA tree as a binary 'blob' called
jscheme.jar.  The utility
Java files are also included in binary form in jschemelogutil.jar, as
well as the original source code.

This has arisen as an issue when packaging OpenJDK (in the form of
OpenJDK6/IcedTea6) for Debian:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140

The attached patches avoids this issue by replacing the single JScheme
script used, mc.scm, with a Java-based
equivalent.  This generates identical source code and resource files,
barring a few appropriate changes in the comments.

We've already included this in IcedTea as a patch against OpenJDK6,
but ideally would like to also see it included upstream.

The attached patches were created against a checkout of the latest
CORBA forest (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/corba/).  I couldn't see
a way to create a whole forest diff, so I instead create one against
the forest root and one against the CORBA tree.  The patches are
as follows:

* jscheme-root.diff: Removes the JScheme notice from the root README file.
* jscheme-corba.diff: The main patch; adds the new code and Makefile,
and adds this to the build process.
* jscheme-rm.diff: Removes jscheme.jar, jschemelogutil.jar and the
JScheme scripts from the repository.

The second two could be made into one patch if necessary.

I did notice that there seems to be no mailing list or active
development for the CORBA tree, hence this mail to build-dev instead
of
a corba-dev alias (the same seems to be true of jaxws and jaxp too).
Are these not actively maintained or are they maintained outside
the OpenJDK process?

Thanks,
