RMIC compiling the server to get the stub and skelton problem

Question

i have this problem
i'm new to RMI
and i tried to simulate the same interfaces and class in the RMI java tutorial and when i tried to use rmic to create the stub and skeleton i didnt get any thing
my RMI server application is called
c:\samplestep\ServerAPP\ServerEngine.java
and i complied this java file with
c:\samplestep\ServerAPP>javac ServerEngine.java and it works well
i have d:\jdk1.3
and i have D:\ORANT\jdev(which is Oracle JDeveloper IDE)
my classpath system variable (windows 2000 professional)
Looks like this
D:\jdk1.3\bin;D:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar; some other paths;
c:\samplestep\ServerAPP;
D:\ORANT\jdk\bin;D:\ORANT\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
and at the command line prompt i wrote
c:\samplestep\ServerAPP>rmic -d c:\samplestep\ServerAPP -classpath c:\samplestep\ServerAPP\ServerEngine
and the result was the help associated to the rmic command
and no stub or skelton class are generated
could any one help me please(required urgently)
my email is [email protected]

Hi Batal,
Did you follow all the steps required to create a RMIServer and RMI Client.
Step1: Define an interface(IRMIInterface) that extends Remote
Step2 : Define a class(RMIServer) that implements extends UnicastRemovetObject and extends IRMIInterface
Step3 : Compile the IRMIInterface.
Step4: Compile the RMIServer.
Step5: Try RMI compile.
If you have tried all these, just verify whether the class files are there, before you do rmi compile.
You could have got some errors while compiling, why cant you post them
