Maybe, although there is also tooling such as the IDL compiler, a 
back-end for the RMI compiler to generate IIOP stubs and IDL, and 
several other tools.

The other possibility is the Java EE move to Eclipse as I assume that 
will include the RI, as in Glassfish with its dependency on CORBA. It 
would need some tooling and probably the JNDI CosNaming provider but 
otherwise might be an alternative replacement for those that want to 
keeping this area alive.
