A big +1 to adding version numbers to jar names In Windows, I never preset my classpath: I have a simple batch file for each project/codebase which uses the jars in the lib in my development tree to set the correct and minimum classpath for my current work. Otherwise, you'd have to update all code simultaneously when you need to change one. Never looked back, had a continual nightmare with fixed classpaths.
