It is not.
I want *my* application to read some files from the classpath which are, for a reason, NOT in the EAR file.
That's why I don't want to access the JBOSS classpath but have a new entry in...

How can I set the classpath to a folder on my disk for a given JBoss application from within Eclipse?

Thanks.

It is unanswered as there is no solution posted for how to set a classpath for an application.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Above thread covers my issue perfectly, so why should I open a new thread?

How can I modify the classpath for an individual application? There are reasons for not including all files in the EAR file itself, so how can it be done?
