On Solaris in JDK 1.1 There is an inconsistency between rmic and java and javac.

If you do not have your classpath set both java and javac will make the current
working directory part of your path.

However, rmic will not.

So if do not have my class path set and I run the command

rmic HelloImpl

And HelloImpl is in the current working directory

I get the following error message:

 timor 64 =>!rmic
rmic HelloImpl
error: Class {0} not found.
1 error
 timor 65 =>ls

(The fact that in prints {0} as opposed to HelloImpl is another bug
that is all ready being addressed).


However, if I run the command

java HelloImpl

and my classpath is not set and HelloImpl is in the current working
directory everything works fine.
