while browsing, trying to solve a problem, came across classpath, but
when i tried it i found a bug in the bit i wanted to use,( URL class )
which appeared easy to fix, wrote what i thought was a fix but now can't
seem to find a nice way to run it.
i am trying NOT to set up another development environment and really
just want to replace the existing class and run it.
here's what i've tried so far;
used IKVM, but the -xbootclasspath option doesn't override the existing
classes. (this seems like a bug which i've posted.).
tried to compile classpath using jikes to run under sun JVM but get this;
Found 1 semantic error compiling "C:/Program
Files/classpath/java/lang/ClassLoader.java":
<--------------------------------
1097. new URLClassLoader(urls, parent)
. . .
1112. };
-------->
*** Error: A constructor associated with this anonymous type does
not throw the exception "java/lang/SecurityException" thrown by its
super type, "java/net/URLClassLoader".
and i'm only doing that because i can't find a runtime anywhere. ( is
this because runtime's are somehow VM dependent, and it's too difficult
to maintain a runtime for this VM? )
please help, getting a bit frustrated, a simple bit of hit and run
contribution, has turned into a week of annoyance.
