Would it be considered good practice to add jar > files to JDK_HOME\jre\lib\ext provided they are NOT applications? no because extension libs are loaded in a different class loader; wierd things happen.

Ant runs happily on an empty classpath; so can other apps if written correctly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
