Actually, this is the way you're supposed to use JAR files in Netbeans. It's documented, but badly placed in a non-obvious location(IMO). This causes a lot of people grief.

I am using the netBeans 3.5 IDE for editing and compiling Java files. I have found that if I mount the biojava-1.30-jdk14.jar archive inside the IDE, the Java compiler is able to find all the files it needs, even if I don't edit the Windows PATH variable. I have finally been able to get one of the example from "BioJava In Anger" to compile without any errors. This is so much easier than trying to get the PATH variable set exactly right in Windows that I will just use this strategy.

If the CLASSPATH variable is not displaying properly there then it is not properly set (possibly incorrect syntax). If you are running BioJava 1.3 or less you will also need the Jakarta-Regexp jar on your path. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: David Millis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 8 August 2003 6:04 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Biojava-l] problems installing biojava on Windows 2000 Hello, I am new to using biojava. I am trying to install biojava on a PC running Windows 2000 Professional. I am using Java 2 SDK version 1.4.2. I have downloaded the files in the "binaries" directory in the download area of the biojava server to the directory "C:\biojava" on my computer. I have added the string "C:\biojava;C:\biojava\biojava.jar;C:\biojava\xerces.jar;C:\biojava\byte code.jar;" to my PATH variable. When I try to compile one of the simple demo files, like AlphabetExample.java, I get error messages saying that the packages "org.biojava.bio.symbol.*" and "org.biojava.bio.seq.*" can't be found. Is there something else I have to do to get the biojava files installed correctly? Thanks - David Millis. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
