I'd ignore the com.ibm property and look through the path defined by org.apache.harmony.boot.class.path I don't know what property is set by the DRLVM / JCHEVM / etc., but it would be good if they set the same property (maybe in addition to their current property). If you want the code to run on the Sun implementation too then you should *also* search the sun.boot.class.path, and of course be tolerant of o.a.harmony... or sun.boot... being absent. Is running on Sun a goal for you? It's not something that we would require for including the LDAP code in Harmony.
