Constructor Detail

ClassPath

public ClassPath(java.lang.String pathstr)

Build a class path from the specified path string

ClassPath

public ClassPath(java.lang.String[] patharray)

Build a class path from the specified array of class path element strings. This constructor, and the corresponding "init" method, were added as part of the fix for 6473331, which adds support for Class-Path manifest entries in JAR files to rmic. It is conceivable that the value of a Class-Path manifest entry will contain a path separator, which would cause incorrect behavior if the expanded path were passed to the previous constructor as a single path-separator-delimited string; use of this constructor avoids that problem.
