set classpath in linux(slackware9) for java
 

i just started using packages in java.i want to set my classpath .but dont know how to.
please help me:confused: :newbie:

sun here is recommending that you set the classpath using the option -classpath when envoking java. there's also the setenv way of doing it described there. i think you could probably pathmunge it in /etc/profiles if you're so inclined. not a 100% sure on the pathmunge thing though.

anyway seperate multiple directory paths with a ":".
