As of build 20020425, there is no easy way to run rmic on a class in a project. 
A context-menu option for running rmic on a source file would be a good 
feature, or (even better) automatic rmic compilation of any class that extends 
RemoteObject.  

The use case would be:

1. In a project, user creates a class that extends java.rmi.server.RemoteObject 
or java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject.  Ideally, this should work whether the 
user specifies the superclass in the "New->Class" wizard or creates a vanilla 
class and then later adds the "extends RemoteObject" manually to the class 
declaration.

2. Eclipse detects that the class extends RemoteObject and invokes rmic on the 
class automatically and/or on save and outputs the Stub and Skel classes to the 
project's build output folder.

Other considerations:
- rmic is in tools.jar
