Question about the classpath setting for bin/hadoop jar

Hi,

I noticed that the "bin/hadoop jar" command doesn't add the jar being executed to the classpath. Is this deliberate and what is the reasoning? The result is that resources in the jar are not accessible from the system class loader. Rather they are only available from the thread context class loader and the class loader of the main class.

Regards,

Richard.
