Re: [Sablevm-developer] Request about ClassLibrary

[Prof. E. M. G. <eti...@uq...>]

Hi Andrea,

As David said, SableVM finds it's own class libraries (if properly
installed) without the need to specify them using --classpath.

The --classpath is used to specify the search locations for
"application" classes, and it defaults to "." (current directory).

Classes on the classpath are loaded using a Java-based class loader
which is able to read from .jar files.  (See
src/gnu/java/lang/SystemClassLoader.java in the
sablevm-class-library).

Unfortunatly the VM's internal "bootstrap" class loader cannot read
=66rom .jar files, as the bootstrap class loader cannot be *easily*
written in Java [it would cause lots of chicken-egg problems; benn
there, tried that :-(].  It is my intention to eventually link sablevm
against the zlib library to read .jar files natively.  [Contributions
are welcome. :-))]
