This bug is reported on behalf of JDK 1.2 EA customer (Digital Equipment):

Assume I have a file foo\MyRemObj.class that contains a subclass of java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject. When I invoke rmic as follows:

    rmic foo.MyRemObj

I would expect that it places the generated files MyRemObj_Skel.class
and MyRemObj_Stub.class in the directory foo; however, it actually places
it into the current directory.

This problem is present in all versions on JDK 1.1 as well.
