Hi Java Buddies! I am trying to run this code using Jar Bundler, the application that replaced MRJAppBuilder with the July 2003 Dev tools. I just can't get the current directory defined in the classpath as in this article. The application starts but can not find the class junit.samples.AllTests. I ran this example using the original MRJAppBuilder and everything worked fine, but with Jar bundler I can't get it to work - can anyone help ? Max

  I found the problem, and the solution.
  
  The problem is that Jar Bundler ignores any manual edits you make to the Classpath entries on the "Classpath and Files" tab.
  
  The solution: once Jar Bundler has generated your app bundle, open the app folder and edit Contents->Info.plist. Find the ClassPath XML and manually edit it to look like this:
  
  <key>ClassPath</key>
  <string>$JAVAROOT/junit.jar:.</string>
  
  Save the Info.plist and re-launch your app. Should run just fine this time.
  
  BTW, I also put junit.samples.AllTests as an argument to main rather than as a "parameter" property.

  Exactly the same here. I'm still stuck.
