Re: [Bodington-developers] Removal of RMI depedancy

I can't remember why it was there in the first place. Jon may know.

If it's not used, I can't see an argument for keeping it.

Subject: [Bodington-developers] Removal of RMI depedancy

I have had a quick look at removing the dependancy on RMI throughout the
bodington code and have an initial attempt. Reasons for removing it include:

- It is not used. Nowhere do we use the features of RMI.
- It clutters up the APIs as all our methods throw RemoteException.
- RemoteExceptions are just ignored when people write code.
- It speeds up the build, the rmic task is the slowest bit of the build.
- It allows project rebuilds by IDEs (eclipse) without needing ant.
- If we needed it again adding it back in is simple.

Comments?
