There is a story about this and lots more useful information in the Java
Tutorial at:

"Setting the Class Path
If you must, you can change your class path. This can be
done in either
of two ways:
1.Set the CLASSPATH environment variable (not
recommended).
2.Use the -classpath runtime option when you invoke the
compiler or
the interpreter.
We don't recommend setting the CLASSPATH environment
variable because
it can be long-lived (particularly if you set it in a login
or startup
script). It's also easy to forget about, and then one day,
your
programs won't work because the compiler or interpreter
loads a crusty
old class file instead of the one you want. An old,
out-of-date
CLASSPATH variable is a fruitful source of confusing
problems. "
