I understand the jar file concept, but I have a hard time understanding how the compiler finds them. Because of the error: javax package not found! I the installation instructions it said to set classpath= to nothing that way I can compile from anyhwere without having to set the classpath? If you can tell me where to find hte beginners series I would gladly read it. Thanks
