java.classpath Change Log

0.3.x series

Release 0.3.0 on 2018-May-06

• Fix CLASSPATH-8: empty classpath returned on Java 9.

Starting with Java 9, the default class loader is no longer an instance of URLClassLoader, so classpath returned an empty sequence. The strategy of using URLClassLoader started with release 0.2.0 to accommodate Java application containers (see CLASSPATH-1 and CLASSPATH-2). After this change, application containers based on URLClassLoader should still work as expected.

On Java 9 without an application container, it appears that the java.class.path system property is the only way to get the classpath. While this is essentially a bugfix for Java 9 compatibility, it is a change in behavior, hence the version change from 0.2 to 0.3.
