it's a Pig.(it's java)
the best way to do it is to use :
URL jarUrl = new URL( "file:/path/to/my/app/updatable.jar" ); (this works
on osx/windows/linux)

if you use URL , then it is the SAME for all platforms , forget about setting
or screwing about with
file.separator etc.

actual working code examples:

  ourProgramDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");
int loop=0;
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
                final URL x1 =new URL(((("file:" + ourProgramDirectory) +"/")
+st.nextToken())); //this is a URL so do not use fileSep
                OurJarClassPathArray[loop] = x1; //build an array of class
paths
                loop++;
            }

DO NOT DO THIS!!
    // OurClassPath =
            // new URL[] {
            // new URL("file:" +
ourProgramDirectory+File.separator + "DetailReports.jar") };

if you are still stuck, ask and I will post a full class, as i work on osx
