<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I have an idea which involves going somewhat deep into the bowls of the Java Jar class loader when using the official Oracle JDK 6 (and soon 7).<br>To verify this I started looking at the JDK source code but it's not small and I'd like to try to trace through it while it executes Java programs.<br>
<br>Does anyone here have experience in doing something like this and can give me some useful pointers on how to do this?<br><br>I'd like to be able to do "gdb java -jar HelloWorld.jar" and single-step through the class loader while it loads HelloWorld.jar.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>--Amos<br><br>
