[Jython-dev] What is UnicastRemoteObject for? (Was: Re: [Jython-users] Can I help in adding some documentation?)

[Ray D. <ray...@ya...>]

Hello,

I've been going thru Jython source code and compiling and tracing it through Eclipse in my attempt to add some meaningful javadocs to the source. One thing I noticed, I had to turn off a lot of warnings such as deprecation warnings, static access, etc. I noticed that Shane Hathaway had actually created a patch to silence some of these warnings, you can see it at the following URL:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=312867&aid=981445&group_id=12867

Is there a plan to incorporate this patch? 

Also, what is org.python.rmi.UnicastRemoteObject for? It has a member, "remote", that never gets initialized in the constructor, actually, so it's not like it'll function correctly for whatever its purpose is. Also, there seems to be no other classes that refer to this class--is there a reason why it is still there in HEAD? 

Thanks,
Ray
