I just upgraded to 20020214 driver and the DebuggerSourceLookupPath is
no longer respected. It will only find things in the Java Build Path. If
source for something can't be found, a dialog pops up to ask where is
the source, but no matter what you set in there, it is ignored and the
source can't be found. In my case I dynamically load some classes that
are not in the build path (I do it through a classloader classpath) and
I know where the source is, but it won't let me get to it.

Here's a simple testcase:

1) Create a java project with src/bin directories.
2) Create a package test.staticguy.
3) In this package place this class:

package test.staticguy;

import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;

/**
 * 1) Export the dynamicFolder to the "C" drive.
 * 2) Execute and try to step into the invoke method.
 *    It will ask you where is the source, point to
 *    the "c:/dynamicFolder/src" directory. In 0125
 *    driver this works, in the 0214 driver it does not.
 */
public class MainGuy {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			URL dynamicBinPath = new URL
("file:/c:/dynamicFolder/bin/");

			URLClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] { 
dynamicBinPath });
			Class testGuyClass = cl.loadClass
("test1.dynamic.TestDynamic");

			Object testGuy = testGuyClass.newInstance();
			Method method1 = testGuyClass.getMethod("Method1", 
null);
			method1.invoke(testGuy, null);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}
}

4) Separately compile (not in the above project) the following class:

package test1.dynamic;
/**
 * @version 	1.0
 * @author
 */
public class TestDynamic {
	
	public void Method1() {
		System.out.println("This is method1");
	}

}

5) Create a directory c:/dynamicFolder/bin and c:/dynamicFolder/src
6) Put the TestDynamic.java into the c:/dynamicFolder/src/test1/dynamic 
directory
7) Put the TestDynamic.class into the c:/dynamicFolder/bin/test1/dynamic 
directory

8) Finally try debugging MainGuy and step into the invoke method. It will 
prompt for src location. In 0125 driver this works in 0214 it does not.

Thank you,
