Error when compiling corba orb files

[Shea Levy]

I had the same error when I was compiling OpenJDK6 b20. I think the 
Oracle JDK 6 update 21 or 22 might have dropped the 
compactObjectToString method from the ObjectUtility class, since 
recompiling with JDK 6 update 20 as my bootstrap jdk solved this problem.

Cheers,
Shea
