jol-cli and external class path

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

I noticed that on the JOL homepage the jol-cli samples all use the -jar
executable form. With this it is not possible to specify additional
classes on the class path.

Is there a way to do it, or is it allowed/expected to use java -cp in
this case? Should this be documented?

I noticed there is some pre-main instrumentation in the JAR, so do I
need to specify an -javaagent as well? The tests I tried worked without:

  java -cp target\classes;jol-cli-full.jar org.openjdk.jol.Main
internals test.MyClass

From JMH I know that is imortant to have the benchmark.jar, but JOL
looks less demanding in that regard.

Gruss
Bernd

PS: I was digging into this because I wanted to give some help on a SO
answer, so thats why I thought using the -cli variant might be easier
to explain. http://stackoverflow.com/a/30203163/13189
