I think as a practical matter it's a good idea to support some of the more obvious flags like "-classpath".. however, full compatibility is probably not worth the trouble. Also, note that the specification for these flags is part of the JNI invocation interface, and there is no specification (that I know of) for the java(1) command line itself. Sun apparently just copies over the command line flags into the JNI_CreateJavaVM() call, which is why they look the same. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
