As the one who kicked off the "RMI over IIOP" thread and tried many
ways to get omniORB to compile the IDL spit out from Sun's rmic
compiler (jdk 1.3) I think I can verify that omniORB cannot be used
with RMI-IIOP.  The two sticking points for me were the usage of
wstring (any usage of String in your java interface was converted to a
wstring in the IDL) and valuetype (used liberally throughout the IDL),
neither of which are supported by omniORB.  I don't know if there are
any other sticking points since I couldn't get beyond those problems.

If you accept votes for what to develop next: whatever is needed for
RMI-IIOP!
