I agree that there should be some way of specifying a location outside of jar loading. I am mostly looking for a suggestion that provides the most wisdom. Goals: 1. with nothing (e.g. JRUBY_HOME) set, all internal jar versions of files should be found regardless of how jruby is invoked (BSF, command-line, etc...) 2. With something set external files should be searched to: a. be override of jar files (good for debugging) b. be supplelement to jar files (also where gems would load from) Both of these things should likely be something like a system property since in BSF we have no way of directly updating the config class. -Tom -- + http://www.tc.umn.edu/~enebo +---- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----+ | Thomas E Enebo, Protagonist | "Luck favors the prepared | | | mind." -Louis Pasteur | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
