Re: funky classpath issues?

Hi Jeff,

I may be reading this wrong, but it looks like the jre is acting the way
I would expect it to. I would assume that anything in the
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext would be prepended to the CLASSPATH, and any
classes found in those directories/jar files would be used before
anything else in the CLASSPATH.
