This could be done easily enough for specific classes by trying to load them, but for packages, I'm not so sure. A Java compiler controls its own classloader, so it knows where classes can be found; that classloader can search its classpath for a package. But Jess has to live embedded inside other software, and follow the rules of whatever environment it's in -- i.e., it doesn't and can't have its own classloader, so it really doesn't know where to look for packages. As usual, suggestions welcome. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Distributed Systems Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
