Hi, I'm learning by doing, and have gone through the batik install from source process and run squiggle. It takes 37 seconds to start it each time that way...so I found the target list of build.sh and built dist-zip and got .jar files. I moved those to /usr/local/classes/batik-1.5 and set the classpath to the dir some jar files are in and nothing.
Then I read that that is normal classpath behavior. So, my question to you all is: Is it better to copy or move the generated classes directory tree contents to your basic /usr/local/classes directory so as to have shorter classpath= environment variables, or is it somehow preferable to have a long classpath= pointing to many of the .jar files generated? Each is going to have a compile step. Each is likely to require a copy from the build dir to the dirs on the classpath. Do you all prefer to just put the build dirs of code youare changing on your classpath? The tutorials on classpath say to avoid confusion and keep them short or use jwhich and such tools to sort out confusion...
