[EMAIL PROTECTED] Boot Library Path Property
+
+As of GNU Classpath 0.15 a system property named @code{gnu.classpath.boot.library.path}
+can be set by the VM to specify the directories which contain GNU Classpath's native
+libraries. Usually this value is given at configuration time and is then hardcoded
+in the VM. However for development purposes it is handy to switch to another installation
+by overriding the properties' value on the command line.
+
+A VM that does not support this feature can simply ignore the property.
+
+For compatibility reasons we suggest to set the default value of @code{java.library.path}
+to the value of the @code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} environment if it exists on your platform.
