This is just a shot in the dark, I don't know if this is the problem:
On windows, when you update an environment variable from the GUI, any open CMD windows will not get the update. You have to open a new cmd or command instance to get the changes. I guess a local copy of the path variable (and possibly all environment vars) gets pulled into the cmd instance, and it doesn't check the system for updates. I don't think this applies if you are setting the environment var from the cmd window itself, although other instances probably won't get the change.

hi- I just received my derby text book an hour ago. I was playing around with the echo commands it had for windows dos and noticed that even though I had set an environment variable for my eclipse directory (I followed same procedure laid out in the book for the demo application that comes with derby) in the CLASSPATH when I do an echo it skips over that entry. I suspect if I can figure out why in the world it would do that I may fix the problem. this makes me angry. i can screw up enough on my own without this. I have to go to work now. my hobby will have to wait a bit. if anyone knows why, please help. thanks - jim screen prints – values in my environment variable c:\derby\lib\derbyclient.jar;c:\derby\lib\derbytools.jar;c:\derby\frameworks\NetworkServer\bin;c:\eclipse\workspace\budgetcalc\bcalc2;c:\swtjasperviewer-1.0.3\swtjasperviewer-1.0.3.jar; console window showing an echo – C:\jadeCheckBook>echo c:\derby\lib\derbyclient.jar;c:\derby\lib\derbytools.jar;c :\derby\frameworks\NetworkServer\bin;c:\swtjasperviewer-1.0.3\swtjasperviewer-1. 0.3.jar; c:\derby\lib\derbyclient.jar;c:\derby\lib\derbytools.jar;c:\derby\frameworks\Net workServer\bin;c:\swtjasperviewer-1.0.3\swtjasperviewer-1.0.3.jar; batch file echo command – echo %CLASSPATH%
