Classpath

[Anonymous]

What is the exact classpath for accessing all the packages of java 1.2? If possible some idea about classpath.

[paul wheaton]

The classpath will be different for many systems. It depends a lot on the O/S and where you installed the JDK.
I think that the 1.2 JDK figures out how to find the system classes on its own.

jdk1.2 does not need any explicit classpath to set for core java classes.However,here is the syntax for setting classpath for the packages created by you.
consider c is a package u created in dir c:\a\b;
Windows
set classpath=%classpath%;c:\a\b;
Unix
setenv CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%:home\usr\a\b

for second question classpath is an environmental variable (just like path )to make jvm to look for the .class files to make any java compilation or execution take place
