I am trying to instantiate a java object using the following command. result = OBJ_NEW( 'IDLjavaObject$com.examples.Browser', 'com.examples.Browser'); % Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\localhostM\bin\javadir\Library.jar (The network path was not found) The actual location of the jar file is \\M\bin\javadir\Library.jar I dont understand why "localhost" is added in the path. This happens only in IDL8.0 and works fine with the previous versions. My "IDLJAVAB_LIB_LOCATION" environment variable points to a valid JVM. Do I have to set any other env. variable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
