JAV2I12 — Eliminating server wait code

Summary: An RMI-JRMP server creates and exports server objects and then
returns. A non-daemon thread created by the JRMP runtime keeps the
server process alive until there are no more objects exported.
For code portability, an RMI-IIOP server needs to work in a similar
way. It is not acceptable to require a call to ORB.run() or the
use of application "wait" code to keep the server process alive.

I propose that the specification of PortableRemoteObject.exportObject
be updated to say that the first call to this creates a non-daemon
thread which keeps the JVM alive until all exported objects have
been unexported by calls to PortableRemoteObject.unexportObject.
