Hi there, This is a little bit off-topic -- sorry for the intrusion. I am running some RMI applications on a machine which doesn't have the necessary classes installed -- the RMI class loader runs out and grabs the ones that are needed, using the codebase property. That works great. I like that so much, I wonder if I can get javac to do sort of the same thing. What I want is to name a class in a program I am developing on the class-less machine and somehow let javac know that I mean a class on another machine. That would be very convenient for development. I would really rather not mirror the class files. javac doesn't seem to notice codebase. Is there some way I can get the effect I want -- which is essentially to put the codebase in the classpath, so to speak. I wonder if I will have to obtain the javac source and hack it to use RMIClassloader.loadClass instead of Class.newInstance or something like that. I guess I'm assuming that Class.newInstance ignores the codebase -- maybe I should hack Class.newInstance instead?? Thanks for any ideas you might have. Robert Dodier
