There are several ways. 1) You can invoke the application use -jar jarfile.jar, and the manifest for the jarfile can set the classpath. 2) You can use ant, which which will let you set a classpath with regexp's like "dir/*.jar". 3) You can write a short script using find and sed to do what ant does. 4) You can build jar files which aggregate various jars into a larger jar file. 5) You can copy commonly used libraries into your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory (this is the path for extensions), so that they'll get added automatically. --Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
