seeing classpath

[Paul Keohan]

Is there a way to see what the classpath is set to while something is running? Is there a method to get it?

[Cindy Glass]

String classpath = System.getProperty("java.class.path");

No, except by instantiating new class loaders.

Runtime.exec() will run DOS commands as well, you just need to run the command interpreter. Your COMSPEC environment variable will give its name; on NT, it's cmd.exe. For example, Runtime.exec("cmd.exe /c dir > \\dir.txt"); will create a directory listing in the "\dir.txt" file.
