> How is BOOTCLASSPATH used differently from CLASSPATH?

From the tool docs:

<quote>
The Java runtime searches for the startup class, and other classes used, 
in three sets of locations: the bootstrap class path, the installed 
extensions, and the user class path. 
</quote>

<quote>
The oldjava launcher uses the bootstrap class loader for all classes, 
while the java launcher uses the bootstrap class loader only for 
bootstrap classes. This allows programming techniques that are 
incompatible with the base class loader.
