Re: [j-devel] Dump an ABCL image?

[Alan R. <al...@mu...>]

Thanks Luke!

One issue with this is that it won't work for an applet, because it  
writes copies of the .abcl files to the local file system.
Abcl loads .abcl files from it's own jar file at  startup - is there  
some way to take advantage of that mechanism to avoid the
file system writes?
