java.rmi package used in tests is deprecated

[zmiklank]

The java.rmi package has been deprecated and is now completely removed from the future versions of java[1], AFAIK from jdk17. There is no replacement for the RMI mechanism. Javassist uses this package only in its test suite, here are listed the dependent tests:

src/test/test2/Inner.java
src/test/javassist/JvstTest.java
src/test/javassist/JvstTest2.java
src/test/javassist/JvstTest3.java
src/test/javassist/bytecode/StackMapTest.java
src/test/javassist/bytecode/BytecodeTest.java

Is there any plan for the future for removing the deprecated dependency, so that the test could be compiled with jdk17?

The code dependent on java.rmi will be removed. java.rmi in src/test/test2/Inner.java has been already removed. I could not see java.rmi in JvstTest3.java, StackMapTest.java, or BytecodeTest.java. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Sorry, I was referring to the latest release (rel_3_28_0_ga), and did not notice, that java.rmi has been already removed from Inner.java in the development branch. About the rest of the files: I listed all tests which currently can not be built with jdk17 because of java.rmi. Among them can be some internal dependencies.

OK, I'll check them. By the way, I removed java.rmi from Inner.java today. So it's not your fault that you didn't notice that.
