      java version "1.2.2"
      Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-001, native threads, symcjit)

      I had a jar file in the lib\ext directory that had classes that we conflicting
      with some newly created ones that I had added to my CLASSPATH environment
      variable. To resolve the problem, I tried renaming the lib\ext\file.jar to
      lib\ext\file.bad so that it wouldn't get used. That didn't work! I had to
      actually move the file from the lib\ext directory completely for the conflict
      to be resolved. I expected that zip and jar files would be read in that
      directory but nothing else so I consider it a bug.
