Ok. That makes sense. I actually found this out without even trying and was
quite surprised!

That would be great! This is actually what I meant in my original
question... It is starting to get quite a mission adding a jar/zip/path to
your path just to try things out. If the java wrapper could read (with
links) all the jar/zip/class files in "jdk/lib/usr" or some path like that
it would be great and save a lot of trouble. The problem with the approach
obviously is that ALL the classes will get loded into memory... mmmm, not
good. (The wrapper obviously knows to read the classes.zip file from
"jdk/lib", so why not the user classes?)
