Setting CLASSPATH during runtime

How do I set a CLASSPATH variable during runtime while using IKVM?

I've been trying to do it by using: java.lang.System.setProperty("java.class.path", "whatever");

The class I'm calling requires a configuration file in the classpath to work - and I keep getting errors that seem to indicate that it hasn't gotten its settings.

Is the way I'm trying to add variable incorrect?

Solution

  • I was trying to do the same thing. I had some jar files compiled to a .Net dll but some of those (3rd party) jar files were trying to load their configuration files from the java classpath.

    I solved the problem by specifying the -classloader option for the ikvmc tool. Example:

    ikvmc -out:mydotnetapp.dll -classloader:ikvm.runtime.ClassPathAssemblyClassLoader c:/myjavaapp/lib/*.jar

    This worked for me!
