Well, thanks to the mighty power of google and narrowing down the  
right questions to ask, here's the 'answer' to my current problems.

Straight from sun:

"Modify the generated IDL files such as the EJBs, helper classes, and  
third-party classes corresponding to the application.
The generated IDL files do not compile directly. You need to manually  
modify the IDL files for generating a CPP file. The list below  
explains the situations when you need to modify the IDL files:"

At least it wasn't me doing something wrong. The tools are just broken.

Thanks for the insights.
