Hello Stig,
I cannot quote where but in the Sun documentation is stated how the CLASSPATH
works.
If you point to a .jar or .zip file, then you must point directly to that file,
e.g.
/usr/java1.2/lib/tools.jar
else if you un-jar (un-archive -- jar xvf tools.jar) the file, then you can
point to the top of the dir:
/usr/java1.2/lib/src -- where the archive creates the sub-dir 'src' and all
files under there
so this would also work for you (before you un-archived the file):
<dirs>/JSDK2.0/lib/jsdk.jar
instead of this (not works unless file is un-jar'd in 'lib' dir):
<dirs>/JSDK2.0/lib/
hope that helps,
david hall
