In Jacorb 3.6, in class PortRangeSocketFactory, there remains a call to the printStackTrace method which floods our console with exceptions in cases we hit a firewall or a server did not start. See line 177 in method doCreateSocket: catch (IOException ex) { ==> ex.printStackTrace(); tryToClose(socket); if (useTimeout && System.currentTimeMillis() > expireTime) { throw new TIMEOUT("couldn't open socket within " + timeout + ". Last exception details: " + ex.toString()); } } This call should be removed.
