Well, -lib is not a classpath. It's more like java.ext.dirs, i.e. all JARs in these directories are picked up. This makes it a lot more convenient than having to specify a full classpath. That said, since -lib is also used to pass in the user CLASSPATH, it shouldn't change the meaning of the classpath, as Peter pointed out. So basically we should leave -lib as-is, and introduce a new -cp (or -classpath or both) to pass in a true class path, and change the launcher script to do -cp %CLASSPATH% (or -cp "$CLASSPATH").
