When all the .class files are in the
working directory they are in the CLASSPATH. Are all of the classes in
a .jar in the CLASSPATH too?
When you have a jar, the classpath is ignored, unless you have one
inside the jar. All the classes in the jar are potentially loadable.
That was my question. So any class in a jar can be loaded and a static
method called on it by using its classname.methodname(). I assume then
if the jar manifest has a Class-Path: statement pointing to another jar,
all those classes are potentially loadable too?
Yes.
If it is in the classpath then it can be loaded - how the path
got in the classpath should not matter.
