Abstract

This invention relates to the loading of classes in programming environments, and in particular, Java programming environments. This invention discloses a system and method that permits dynamic loading of classes during the execution of Java programs. This invention allows for classes to be loaded despite the fact that such classes may not reside in the current path or working directory within a Java programming environment. This invention also discloses a system and method for archiving files in an archive file that provides customized entry names for the archived files.
