The short answer is that RMI-IIOP is not a standalone technology in the
JCP and this project does not publish a JAR file with the CORBA and
RMI-IIOP classes.
Can you say anything about the "alternative version of CORBA" that you
are using? Is it a complete replacement and does it include its own copy
of the RMI-IIOP classes? Does it run when deployed on the class path or
does it rely on augmenting the CORBA classes in the JDK.
Going forward then the proposal is to remove CORBA from Java SE and the
JDK. JDK-8189188 [1] is the (still in draft) JEP with all the details.
