I've been caught by another bootstrap fall out (and have now reverted my build env to JDK 7)

build/ws/corba/src/share/classes/com/sun/corba/se/spi/orb/ORB.java>:256: error: incompatible types: ReflectiveOperationException cannot be converted to String
               throw new InternalError(e);
                                       ^
