how to set multiple classpaths? [message #190567]

I solved most recognition problems with Jason's advice to put:
System.setProperty( EngineConstants.WEBAPP_CLASSPATH_KEY,

"c:/myclasses" );

My problem now is that I have to add third party jars located in the lib
directory in addition to my classes to my classpath.

Jason when is your book coming out?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

This is tricky because of the way Eclipse plugins do class loading.
Here is a good article on what Eclipse does.
http://www.eclipsezone.com/articles/eclipse-vms/

I needed to add to the classpath in one of my plugins and used code similar
to what is in the BIRT jdbc driver.

oldloader = thread.getContextClassLoader();

refreshURLs();

ClassLoader changeLoader = new URLClassLoader( (URL [])URLList.toArray(new
URL[0]),thread.getContextClassLoader());

thread.setContextClassLoader(changeLoader);

..

..

..

finally{

thread.setContextClassLoader(oldloader);

}

The refreshURLs function just builds the list to add to the classpath.
