I added the properties file support because you'd mentioned in your email that you've a large numebr of paths to add to the CLASSPATH. You'd mentioned fifteen lines, and fifteen lines worth of CLASSPATH entries are better added individually and separately, than clubbed together in one large string. > and (b) I didn't like the fact that the attached > file doesn't have the source for the class loader, so I couldn't see for > myself > how it does this and fix my first problem. > The attachment contains a zip file which contains the Eclipse project (complete with .project and .classpath files). I just checked the attachment and I see that it contains this particular zip file as well. So, you have everything in my attachment to see if how I've addressed the problem.
