Description

While running Findbugs (which uses bcel) on Mac OS X, I noticed that the class path returned from
ClassPath.getClassPath() was incorrect.

The problem is that on Mac OS X, java.ext.dirs contains 3 different directories. The code searches all 3
directories for .jar/.zip files to add to path, but then appends each filename to the entire java.ext.dirs
string, rather than appending it to the directory the file was found in.
