Trouble configuring custom extension in xmlcalabash

Hi,

I have trouble configuring a custom extension in xmlcalabash. Is the following a known issue?

I was looking at a way of reading out java.home. The pos:env seemed to get me pretty close, but is quite literally returning environment variables. It is using System.getenv() under the hood, while I am looking for something that returns all of System.getProperties(). So I though, let me just copy the Env class, patch it, and add it as an extension of my own. The signature is the same. I put it in a jar, added it to the java classpath, and passed in a configuration xml that associates my step type with the new class. Xmlcalabash however crashes with the following exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Class not found: nl.grtjn.xproc.util.osutils.Env

Fun fact here is that if I inject my class into calabash.jar itself, it runs just fine. So, sounds like a classloader issue.

Is this a known bug? Should I do something special to make xmlcalabash see other jars on the classpath, apart from its own?

I could have filed it as a new issue, but wanted to ask here first..

Kind regards,
Geert
