           Summary: CLASSPATH construction order
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: hategan at mcs.anl.gov
        ReportedBy: benc at hawaga.org.uk


The bin/swift wrapper currently constructs a classpath for swift                
automatically, as whatever is already on the classpath in the current           
environment followed by all of the swift classes.

This order seems to cause more problems than it solves - specifically,          
when there are overlapping classes specified in the environment (which I        
have seen with falkon and pegasus users, and potentially is also a problem      
for people with the Globus Toolkit installed).

I think it would be better to construct the classpath the other way round.

(I initially commented about this on swift-devel:
