Jars and a classpath with . in it.
Has anyone had a problem accessing package version information when the CLASSPATH environment variable contains . to search the pwd? I was running into a problem where the package versioning information was null unless I removed the . entry in the CLASSPATH. I was not running the JAR with java -jar but instead just including the JAR in the CLASSPATH via java -cp and then specifying the entry point. Once I removed the . from the CLASSPATH the versioning information all worked. This is a problem for me because I need to source a DB2 file that sets up the CLASSPATH to contain the . and I don't think I can get that changed. I didn't think it should necessarily matter because the JAR file I'm using is in the current directory anyway.
Can anyone explain why the CLASSPATH with a . in it would affect the versioning information this way?
