You can use the set javaclasspath command or the append_javaclass_path function to set the list of directories where the embedded JVM can locate your Java classes. The default setting of set javaclasspath is empty. Regardless of whether set javaclasspath is set, the embedded JVM searches the distributed Java classes in Arbortext-path\lib\classes\aom.jar. The aom.jar file holds com.arbortext.epic, which contains the Arbortext Editor distributed Java classes that implement the AOM and DOM.

Any .class and .jar files in Arbortext-path\custom\classes are automatically added to the Arbortext Editor class path.

Subsequent changes to specify external Java class directories do not affect the running JVM until you exit Arbortext Editor and start a new session. Be sure to set the path to your directory before making your first Java function call.
