Using Classes Not In Classpath

I will soon need to access classes that will be on different CD-ROMs and
often will not be available when I start a Java program. The different
CD-ROMs will have different directory structures on them. How can my Java
program access classes on those CDs when the classes will not be in any
directories listed in the classpath?

Thanks!

Hal

Thanks!

Especially for a name for what I'm trying to do. One of the hardest things
about self-learning on something like this is knowing there is something
you want to do and not knowing the name for it.

And, while I'm at it, your site has been a significant help to me a number
of times. Thanks for all the time and work you've put into it!
