JDK-8051422 - Remove JNDI dependency on java.applet.Applet
Description
As a result of JDK-8051422 using of javax.naming.Context.APPLET will be deprecated. This constant is used in the com.sun.jndi.toolkit.corba.CorbaUtils class. It looks like CorbaUtils is piggybacking on the jndi-applet parameters reading mechanism. There must be a different way to initialize ORB with parameters specified in an applet.

Comments
The Java EE and CORBA modules have been removed from JDK 11. There are no plans to fix this issue.
