Description

When I use the rmic tool from HDK, I got the following warning:
" WARNING: classpath is specified. For proper operation the same classpath should be specified in VM arguments. This is a limitation of current RMIC implementation."

But when I try to specify the classpath arguments to VM, I failed

I've tried the following commands:

1,Command:
bin\rmic.exe -v1.2 -cp C:/rmihello -J"-classpath C:/rmihello" Hello
Error:
Unknown option -classpath C:/rmihello
Use java -help to get help on command line options

2,Command:
bin\rmic.exe -v1.2 -cp C:/rmihello -J "-classpath C:/rmihello" Hello
Error:
rmic.exe crashed!

3, Command:
bin\rmic.exe -v1.2 -cp C:/rmihello -J-classpath C:/rmihello Hello
Uncaught exception in main:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\hdk\lib\tools/jar;C:\hdk\jre\lib\tools/jar

But the command
"bin\rmic.exe -v1.2 -cp C:/rmihello -J-verbose Hello"
can run successfully!
