Yep. They're relative URLs! The spec says

  Class-Path: The value of this attribute specifies the relative URLs of
  the extensions or libraries that this application or extension needs.
  URLs are separated by one or more spaces. The application or extension
  class loader uses the value of this attribute to construct its internal
  search path.

Indeed it's not. But a relative URL is still a URL.
