bootclasspath not working in m8? [message #151392]

I just switched from M7 to M8 and now it appears like the bootclasspath is
not being set correctly during debug and run. I have jars that need to be
loaded before the JRE system library. Is there some new configuration to
do this?

Clarification: For Junit Run/Debug, it appears the Bootstrap Entries are
being ignored. It is working for Java Application.

I've run into this issue as well. A quick workaround is to use the
"-Xbootclasspath/p:" switch in the VM arguments box.

I've entered a bug report (Bug 56693).

I am not sure whether i have the same problem (which i have reported in

workaround. can you please elaborate on how i can use the
"-Xbootclasspath" switch?
thanks,
Vijay

Using -X options depends on your vm. For a summary of supported -X
options execute "java -X"

On Sun 1.4.2_01 it says this about -Xbootclasspath
-Xbootclasspath:<directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
set search path for bootstrap classes and resources
-Xbootclasspath/a:<directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
append to end of bootstrap class path
-Xbootclasspath/p:<directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
prepend in front of bootstrap class path
