FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

This applicable to absolutely every platform


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It would be an invaluable thing if you add -JARPATH
parameter to java command line and as an env variable. The
CLASSPATH tends to have dozens of JAR files. -JARPATH can
point to directories, java executable should scan and
append every JAR file found there to the CLASSPATH. If
anyone is concerned with order or exact list they can
continue using CLASSPATH. THose who don't want to have 4000
character long CLASSPATH can choose to copy all JARs into a
directory (or several) and specify them in JARPATH.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version hopper-beta
