For beta4, java.class.path was split into two:

java.class.plath
java.sys.class.path

So java.class.path essentially becomes java.app.class.path, and real system
classes (i.e., class.zip, which is now called rt.jar) are placed on
java.sys.class.path and are immune to -classpath, etc. In order to
install a default security manager for applications, -Djava.security.manager
can be used:

java -Djava.security.manager MyApp
