Adding zip file to classpath or -Xbootclasspath on J9

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to add a zip file containing javax classes (jscience-vm14.zip) to the classpath when running my program. I haven't had any problems adding jar files for instance, but I can't seem to have this zip file included so that it can be recognized by the jvm.
I've noticed in the installation document of the J9 that if you want to add javax classes it has to be put on the -Xbootclasspath. So I've tried including the zip file using -Xbootclasspath/p:path/to/zipfile/zipfile.zip and I've tried -Xbootclasspath/a:path/to/zipfile/zipfile.zip. I've also tried just including it in the classpath with no luck either. I keep getting a NoClassDefFoundError: javax.units.Unit which is part of the jscience package
Any ideas how to get the zip file included?
Kind regards
Simon

Hi,
Thank you for your answer!
I'm using SWT and here's the code:
lstBread.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
               public void handleEvent (Event e) {
               System.out.println("Widget selected!");
It's working wtihout error on win32 platform. But there is no call on Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. It doesn't run and no exception is throwed on J9 console.
However, when i use the same way for event handling in SWT Button, there is no problem both on WM5 and win32 platform. It's executed as i want.
The code for SWT Button:
btnSView.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
               public void handleEvent (Event e) {
     System.out.println("Widget selected!");     
I couldn't find the reason of that. Why doesn't the list#addListener run on WMobile?
