classpaths and jar files

Fri Jul 6 21:07:00 GMT 2001

Jar files are used to hold many different kinds of resources which programs
may read at runtime (property files, or other data read using getResource*).
It would be convenient if the compiler would arrange for the fully linked
executable's built-in classpath to include any installed jar files used at
time of compilation.
The alternative is for users to set their classpath at progam runtime, or to
force it into the link with -Djava.class.path=XXX.
I don't know how you would go about implementing this off hand....
