java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject

Hey guys, I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't really find anything that directly pertained to my issue at hand. I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before and if it has I'd appreciate if someone would be courteous enough to post a link to the response.

As the thread title suggests, my problem involves the class java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject, and its apparent fondness of not existing. I get the following error when I attempt to run rmic -v1.2 to set up my stub classes:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject not found

in [file:.\, <whole bunch of \bins, etc>, file:.\, core:/]

I've tried adding all sorts of different locations to the classpath, I've downloaded a new version of java, updated the one I already had, anything and everything but C:\Program Files\kitchensink, basically, and the file is never found. the extraneous "file:.\" and especially the "core:/]" part concern me a bit. Is the "core:/]" just there because that particular executable failed or is it there somehow from before? Either way my real question is whether or not anyone can diagnose the problem, and if so, what is the cure? Thanks guys.

The chances are you are on Linux and you have GNU Java installed as well as Sun Java. Delete the GNU Java entirely, it is a worthless piece of junk.If that isn't it please let us know ...

Oh sorry, I should have clarified. I'm actually running Windows XP SP2.

Then you have a badly mis-installed JDK or JRE or a CLASSPATH that includes or excludes all the wrong things. Reinstall.
