Hi Mark!<div>Thanks a lot!</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve been playing and notice a couple of things.</div><div><br></div><div>1) Added jscheme.jar as my jss code uses that</div><div><br></div><div>2) Fixed a couple of jss bootstrappy things to make it happy</div>

<div><br></div><div>3) Does load bind the readtable? I can&#39;t seem to side-effect it when loading jss and so have to type </div><div> (set-dispatch-macro-character #\# #\&quot; &#39;read-invoke) to get it to take effect</div>

<div><br></div><div>4) Having some kind of classpath issues still. When I try (show-classtree &quot;<a href="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/iao.owl">http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/iao.owl</a>&quot;) (after loading my ow2 package sucessfully), which should exercise a bunch of stuff, I get a class not found error in the OWLAPI code. </div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>This is code that uses jss for the jar management and I have no idea how this interacts with the classpath management of OSGI. I guess OSGI is doing various kinds of isolation and I want to blow all the isolation away :)</div>

<div><br></div><div>I guess I&#39;m bound to lose somehow - I&#39;m dynamically loading the OWLAPI jar, for instance, but protege has it loaded? I guess I can skip loading them with jss if I can figure out how to use the ones that protege has loaded. They are in various plugins.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Right now the jss code looks at the classpath to figure out what jars it should parse to get class names. I suppose by analogy I would look through the bundles for classnames. Is there a way to programmatically determine which bundles are available? To add them programmatically? Or do I need to recompile the plugin to get access to a new plugin?</div>

<div><br></div><div>e.g. I see that I can get a protege editor class:</div><div><div>(jclass &quot;org.protege.editor.core.FileUtils&quot;)</div><div>-&gt; #&lt;java class org.protege.editor.core.FileUtils {39C7}&gt;</div>

<div><br></div><div>But jss doesn&#39;t know about it:</div><div><br></div><div>(find-java-class &#39;core.fileutils)</div><div><div>-&gt; NIL</div><div>#&lt;ERROR {5D08B1}&gt;</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>If you have a pointer to your favorite doc about how the OSGI classloading works, please let me know.</div>

Alan granted me commit rights, so I have updated the org.sciencecommons.lisp.protege plugin to a (hopefully) fully working version.  Instead of breaking ABCL out in a separate OSGi bundle, I included it in the org.sciecommons.lisp.protege bundle directly as a) I&#39;d like to get ABCL out to the Protege community for use who probably couldn&#39;t care less as long as they have a Common Lisp plugin, and b) working through the threading/isolation issues doesn&#39;t look like a quick task.<br>
