prepend classes/JAR files to the installer CLASSPATH
Is there a way to prepend classes/JAR files to the installer CLASSPATH at run-time?
I have an existing installer. I like to run it with the new custom codes and plug-ins. Currently, I have to rebuild the installer everytime I change the custom code or plug-in.

AFAIK it is supposed to work that way: each time you modify something in the installer behavior, be that custom code and / or plugins, you need to rebuild it.

I am not change the custom code or plug-in behavior.
For example, I fix a NullPointerException in my custom code and rebuild the Java classes/JAR. What I like to do is use the new Java classes/JAR with the existing installer to test my fix.

Fixing a NPE is a change, so you have to rebuilt it (how much does it take?)

Installer build can take awhile because it has a lot files to process. When you are doing development work, this can be a drag.
In InstallShield MultiPlatform, user can pass in "-cp:p" argument to the installer launcher. This argument prepends to the installer Java VM $CLASSPATH. I wonder if InstallAnywhere has this similar feature.
