Most of that sounds like a job for Ant; I've never used RMI so I'm not sure
if Ant can generate an RMI stub although there is an 'rmic' task listed
among the core tasks. An Ant plugin comes standard with Eclipse. You can see
the manual here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html.

You will probably find the article on 'Class Fileset' under 'Concepts and
Types' especially useful for what you want to do.
