org.omg.CORBA_2_3 | The CORBA_2_3 package defines additions to existing CORBA interfaces in the Java 2 Standard Edition. These changes occurred in recent revisions to the CORBA API defined by the OMG. The new methods were added to interfaces derived from the corresponding interfaces in the CORBA package. This provides backward compatibility and avoids breaking the JCK tests.
