I just installed java 1.41 on my linux box. By default, Mandrake installs kaffee, and I've had problems with kaffee in the past. As with the last time, installing java is almost too easy. No builds, no make installs--it's just there!
However, I wondered if someone could help me with an easy way to set the CLASSPATH for various applications. Does one have to set the CLASSPATH for every single application? Is there not an easier way? For example, I have installed xalan. In my ./bashprofile, I have: export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/xsltc.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/BCEL.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/bsf.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/java_cup.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/JLex.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/regexp.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/runtime.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/regexp.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/xalansamples.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/xalanservlet.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/xercesImpl.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/paul/java/jars/xalan-j_2_3_1/bin/xml-apis.jar This gets real tedious. And this is for just one application. I know with python, for example, you can just tell python to look in one folder for all the libraries. Is there a way to do this with java? Is there an easier way to create the CLASSPATH? thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
