The <classPathEntry> Element

The <classPathEntry> element is used to add classpath locations to the classpath of the Ibator run. The <classPathEntry> element is an option child element of the <ibatorConfiguration> element. Ibator loads classes from these locations in these instances:

When loading the JDBC driver for database introspection
When loading root classes in the JavaModelGenerator to check for overridden methods

This element is optional and is not required if you setup the classpath externally to Ibator (e.g. with the -cp argument of the java command

Important Note: these locations are NOT used when loading classes that extend one of Ibator's classes or implement one of Ibator's interfaces. In those cases you must add your external classes to the runtime classpath in the same way you add Ibator to the classpath (e.g. with the -cp argument of the java command).
