If you do not set jde-global-classpath (i.e., leave it at its default
setting, nil), the JDE does not create a -classpath argument on any of the
command lines that it runs. It's my understanding that if there is no
-classpath argument, javac, jdb, and java, all use the value of the
CLASSPATH variable (if defined). Thus, jde-global-classpath = nil is
effectively jde-global-classpath = CLASSPATH and hence there is no need to
set it explicitly to the value of a CLASSPATH variable.
In short, if you want to use the value of CLASSPATH, leave
jde-global-classpath set to nil.

HOW TO ASK FOR TECH SUPPORT
When requesting technical support, please generate a problem report, using
the JDE->Help->Submit Problem Report command, and submit this report along
with your help request. The Submit Problem Report command is designed to
gather all the information that someone who does not have direct access to
your system might need to solve your problem. It saves people who want to
help you from having to waste time trying to dig relevant information out
of you. Please note that if you do not get a response to a question, it may
be because you did not provide sufficient information to solve the problem.
Filing a problem report is the best way to ensure that you get a response.
