Description

Name: rf35342			Date: 09/17/98


When extensions are installed in jre/lib/ext (e.g. Java3D), the compiler and runtime JVM treat them as being available, despite not being in the CLASSPATH. javap however, does not - the .jars must be added to the CLASSPATH explicitly, otherwise javap reports classes belonging to the extension packages as not existing.

Comments
EVALUATION The bug is actually reported against the very old version of javap. The latest javap shares the same filemanager as javac, so provides the same classpath behavior. Marking bug noreg-hard because installing test files in jre/lib/ext is not practical.
