Connecting to P8 Content Engine : Good Times
You're trying to write some code to connect to FileNet P8 Content Engine. Code builds, but you get obscure errors.
The amazing thing about this is that it has nothing to do with "ORB initialization".
You can get this error from using the wrong java compiler!.
Solution: Use the full path to the compiler:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\javac.exe"
I am posting this in the hopes it will save some poor soul from losing hours of his or her life.

The code below, compiled with the wrong java compiler, will result in the above horror:
