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.
