Following script can be used to set the path dynamically..
#!/bin/tcsh
set classpath=.
set alljars=""
foreach i (`find . -name "*.jar"`)
set alljars=($i":"$alljars)
end
set CLASSPATH=($CLASSPATH$alljars$classpath)
echo $CLASSPATH
export $CLASSPATH
So, tomorrow even if you add some jars in /home/paul/java/jars/ dir and run the script from the same dir would add for you, all the jar files in the :/home/paul/java/jars/ dir and its subdir to the classpath.

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
