[tcljava-user] Jacl 1.4 - support for package require with "resource".

[Patrick F. <fin...@gm...>]

Just wondering if "package require" works with resource and libraries packed
in jar files.

e.g.  something like.

C:\Tcl\lib>jar -cvf tcllib1_9.jar tcllib1.9

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:/Tcl/lib/tcllib1_9.jar

java -classpath %CLASSPATH% tcl.lang.Shell

% lappend auto_path resource:/tcllib1.9
resource:/tcl/lang/library resource:/proclib resource:/tcllib1.9
% package require term
can't find package term
% package require log
can't find package log

"resource" can load jarred libraries prepared with auto_mkindex.

Would you be interested in writing up some patches and documentation
for this kind of functionality in 1.4? Adding to the auto_path should
work as long as a pkgIndex.tcl is found, see the logic in init.tcl
to see how this works. It would also be very nice to be able to place
a pkgIndex.tcl file in the root of a .jar file bundle and only have
to add the .jar to the CLASSPATH or env(TCL_CLASSPATH).

OK.  Will look into it.
