Description

Since a classloader delegates to its parent if it fails to provide a class, the classpath reported by java.classpath should include the classpath of parent classloaders.

At present the reported classpath contains both system and baseloader classpaths, which I believe is incorrect, since the system classloader is not necessarily a parent of the baseloader.

If this patch is accepted, it will fix the issue described in http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLASSPATH-1. Hugo and I talked and his fix is more general than mine, so you can close CLASSPATH-1.

Oops, I ran the tests, but failed to notice there weren't any...

Updated patch, with a unit test.

Patch is good. Not sure about the test. Finding "clojure-.*jar" in the classpath is subject to the build environment. I think all we can reasonably expect is that the classpath is a seq of java.io.Files.

The test are normally run from the project's own pom, and even if run from an external project, the classpath will include a clojure jar in the huge majority of cases. I suppose the tests could be guarded with a java property set in the project's pom.

If the tests for the clojure jar are dropped, a test for a non-empty sequence should at least be added.

Agreed: the seq should be non-empty and contain Files.

Patch with unit test for classpath, testing for non-empty sequence of java.io.File objects as return value.
