What does this means -root of classpath

[avihai marchiano]

I need to have file import.sql in the root of the classpath.
my application is deployed as an ear.

It means that you have to place the import.sql file directly in the .ear (and not in any sub-folders). Like this:

myApp.ear
  |
  |--- META-INF
  |
  |--- import.sql
  |
  |---- blah
         |
         |--- blah

I think that root of the classpath means that it cant be in a package.
Its ok to put it in a jar (i tried and it work) , but it have to be in the top level of the jar.

Thank you
