I have a desktop app and I want to load class files from my server and load them into the app. I can dynamically load the class, but I'm having class path issues when I compress the app into a .jar. I tried starting the app like this:
java -cp /dir_where_downloaded_classes_are -jar /the_app.jar
but it's not working. Is it possible to programatically add .class files to a .jar file at runtime without the JDK (on an arbitrary person's computer)? Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
