a symbolic link has nothing to do with CLASSPATH
It is just a file that points to an another.
for instance:
Code:
bapu@bapu:/dev$ ls -l cdrom
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3 2004-03-15 16:48 cdrom -> hdc
bapu@bapu:/dev$ ls -l hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 2002-03-14 22:51 hdc
the file cdrom points to the file hdc, which is my hardware. And when I mount cdrom, in fact I mount hdc.
I am not sure it is clear.
You can create a symbolic link by issuing this command
Code:
ln -s source_file symbolic_link_file
