------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 16 21:52:13 +0000 2008 ------- @milek_pl: If the only use-case/scenario is to create a self-contained and insulated (maybe even sealed jar) then you are right. To add flexibility you suggest that one would have to start to write programs, that scan disks on their own to search and find jars that should be used by loading the classes one-self. You also think that this is an easy programmatic job? If so, please sketch the necessary steps that need to be programmed in order to arrive at the flexibility that merely honoring CLASSPATH would allow for? (And please take into account that those programs need to become aware of the operating system they run on as well, adding another bit of complexity.) Ad "secretary": you are 100% right, fiddling with the CLASSPATH or *any configuration setup* is nothing a secretary could or should do! In organizations you have technicians or hire technicians to do that for you. --- Now think about honoring CLASSPATH (or allowing to programmatically change the OOo Java configuration) to add jars which should be searched by the UNO/OOo class loader. No programming would be needed at all! In the case that plumbing is needed, the easiest way is to do that by changing the CLASSPATH (and doing so would not be done by secretaries in this scenario, but rolled out by skilled technicians, e.g. batch updates to the system configuration in a form that honors different operating system environments). Now, if CLASSPATH should not be honored by default (e.g. for security reasons), then one should be able to supply a header entry in the manifest file to explicitly request the honoring of CLASSPATH. [Alternatively, being able to programmatically interact with the OOo Java configuration would allow maintenance people to do the same in essence: create patch scripts to update/replace/extend the jars that the class loaders should look up by default.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
