Default/bootstrap Classpath

["Sonnathi, Venkat" <Ve...@contractor.thomson.com>]

Hi,

I am new Maven user. So please excuse me if this is a very naive/dump
question:

I have created a small project which refers to Xerces classes and in the
project.xml I have not specified the xerces.jar as the dependency and when I
do a jar:jar goal it compiles and creates a jar with my classes. So, I am
assuming that there is a certain default classpath which maven has - Can
someone throw some light on this.

Thanks,
--Venkat.

If you want to look for yourself, you can find the path setup in the
$MAVEN_HOME/bin/{maven.bat,maven} scripts. These basically setup the
classpath to be $MAVEN_HOME/lib and the endorsed classpath to be
$MAVEN_HOME/lib/endorsed.

If you look at the endorsed classpath dir, you should find a version of
xerces in there, I think.

Cheers,
John
