How do I track what java is actually looking for as it traverses CLASSPATH?
To track what Java is actually looking for as it traverses the CLASSPATH, you can use the -verbose:class
option when running your Java application. This option provides detailed information about the classes being loaded by Java and can help you understand which JAR files or directories are being searched in the CLASSPATH.
Here's how you can use the -verbose:class
option:
Open a command prompt or terminal.
Navigate to the directory where your Java application is located.
Run your Java application with the
-verbose:class
option:bashjava -verbose:class YourApplicationClassName
Replace
YourApplicationClassName
with the fully qualified name of the main class of your Java application.As your application runs, Java will display detailed information about the classes it is loading. This information will include the JAR files or directories being searched for each class.
javascript...
[Loaded com.example.MyClass from file:/path/to/myjar.jar]
[Loaded com.example.OtherClass from file:/path/to/otherjar.jar]
...
The output will show the classes being loaded and the paths from where they are being loaded. This can help you identify the JAR files or directories that are being accessed as Java traverses the CLASSPATH.
By using the -verbose:class
option, you can track and analyze the classes being loaded by Java, which provides insight into the files and locations being searched in the CLASSPATH. This information can be valuable for troubleshooting classpath-related issues and understanding how Java resolves dependencies.
