Used Java version:
------------------
 JDK: java version "1.3.1-beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-beta-b15)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1beta-b15, mixed mode)

Used Packages:
--------------
 JINI: Jini 1.1 contains following jars a.o.:

    26514 Okt 10 18:04 jini-core.jar
   139528 Okt 10 18:04 jini-ext.jar

CLASSPATH:
----------
.:/usr/local/java/jdks/noarch/jini1_1/lib/jini-core.jar:/usr/local/java/jdks/noarch/jini1_1/lib/jini-ext.jar

Reproduction:
-------------

Create the classes A, B and C:

A.java:
-------
 import java.rmi.Remote;
 import java.rmi.RemoteException;

 public interface A
        extends Remote
 {
   public C foo() throws RemoteException;
 }

B.java:
-------
 package test;

 import java.rmi.Remote;
 import java.rmi.RemoteException;
 import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

 import java.util.ResourceBundle;

 public class B
        extends PortableRemoteObject
        implements A
 {
   public B() throws RemoteException
  {
  C c = new C();
System.err.println(c);

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("B");
System.err.println(bundle.getString("key"));
}

   public C foo()
{
return new C();
}

   public static void main(String[] args) throws RemoteException
{
B b = new B();
System.err.println(b);
}
 }


C.java:
-------
 import net.jini.entry.AbstractEntry;

 public class C
        extends AbstractEntry
 {
   public C()
  [{
  }
 }

Compile all class files:

> javac A.java B.java C.java

You'll get following class files:

 181 Apr 4 09:51 A.class
 563 Apr 4 09:51 B.class
 192 Apr 4 09:51 C.class

-> Run the RMI compiler

rmic B

Thsi works fine and creates following files:

   1362 Apr 4 09:53 B_Skel.class
   2776 Apr 4 09:53 B_Stub.class

The rmic bug occurs when using the "-idl" option to create IDL files:

> rmic -idl B

Following output is printed:

The call

> rmic -ioop B

outputs the very same error message.
