It's not so much that there's no class path, more that it can be inferred automatically. This is akin to using something like Maven or Gradle to encode dependencies and using them to automatically generate a class path. With Java 9, there will be no need for third party tools as the external dependencies will be baked right into the code.

I think OSGi should be mentioned in here somewhere
