The Java Policy doesn't say anything about this, but it's also the place I
chose as I faced the same question.

It's application dependent, can't be answered in a generic manner. In a
nutshell, you need either to define the CLASSPATH environment variable or
to make sure java is called with the right -cp statement.

It's not topic of those documents, which are about packaged java
applications.
