222	Indirect specification of Java parameter lists	taf		"I'm upgrading from Java 1.4 to Java 6 by way of OpenJDK6.  It seems that use of environmental variables (like CLASSPATH) is now discouraged by the Java community and that command line options are to be used instead.  In trying to accomplish this, I've run into some platform limitations:  the command line on ECS 2.0 seems to be limited to approx. 256 characters.  This is not enough to specify the complete classpath needed in some cases (TCPIP configuration notebook in particular).

Some implementations of the JVM allowed the launcher's (JAVA.EXE) to be specified indirectly:  

java.exe -cp @classpathfile classtorun

where the @ character identified a file containing a list of classpath elements.

Is such a facility available for the ECS implementation of OpenJDK6?  (I've looked in the doc but haven't found anything so far)."	enhancement	closed	major	Enhanced	general	1.6.0 Build 27 GA5	medium	invalid	platform command line limits indirect options
