Class ClassPathHacker

java.lang.Object

public final class ClassPathHacker
extends Object

Static class that dynamically adds stuff to the Java classpath.
Almost all credit should go to Antony Miguel (antony_miguel @ http://forums.sun.com).

Limitations:

• does not replace existing items, just adds them
• only works for URLClassLoaders (most of them are)

Since:

3.3
