This doesn't appear to get included in the installed examples, at least

in my CVS autobuild.



Having a look now (as I want to play with this :-) but I wondered

initially if it is to do with the examples Makefile.am only looking one

directory deep for source files:



# All our example java source files

EXAMPLE_JAVA_FILES = $(srcdir)/gnu/classpath/examples/*/*.java



where the CORBA examples are two and more directories deep. (Also

probably want an EXTRA_DIST for the README.)



While I try to get my head around automake, is anyone else seeing this

or is this just my set-up?



Thanks,



Paul

I have tested the bug and confirm it. After running:
autogen.sh 
./configure --with-jikes
make all
make install

the CORBA examples are missing in all three places where they are expected to
be:

/usr/local/classpath/share/classpath/examples
/usr/local/classpath/share/classpath/examples/examples.zip
$(srcdir)/examples/examples.zip

These examples are also missing in our 0.18 and 0.19 releases.

We currently have two independent CORBA examples, and I plan to write more.
Mixing everything in a single folder would make them very difficult to analyse.
  The examples are very important part of the documentation and should not be
silently skipped. In the case of CORBA, they serve as a proof that our
implementation is functional. The sceptical talks that "they IIOP
implementation just cannot work" were raised even against Netscape in the past!
