Bzzt. Always append, not prepend. If you do the above, how can I make quick fixes? Ie, when tracking down why something doesn't work, I make a copy of part of the errant packages java source into my own tree, and start adding debug print stmts. I then have this added to the classpath. With your scheme, the system installed .class files would always be used, in preference to my own.
