Rob - That's an interesting observation. You are correct... when I change THAT part of my CLASSPATH (i.e. change '.\;' to just '.;' that ALSO fixes it, even when my LAST entry in my CLASSPATH does NOT have the trailing ';' So, yes, there were TWO workarounds.

Just one question though: Why is the trailing "\" (backslash) necessary in your CLASSPATH? I think that "." should suffice for saying "the current directory" - even on Windows. When I eliminate the trailing backslash, it works fine (No ending semi-colon is necessary). At least this seems to be the advice in the Java bug database here: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4105414 Rob |
