Alright, I'm using Windows ME, and I've never had a problem with any classpath issue. When I first downloaded the JDK 1.3, I set the classpath so it could find the compiler:
C:\jdk1.3\bin
And that's it.
I didn't add the current directory to the classpath and I've never had any problems compiling files in whatever directory I've saved them. I've just recently started to develop my own packages and just for safety I threw the directory where my packages will be stored in the classpath, and that's the only addition I made. The classpath is to tell DOS where to look for specific programs to run when you give it a command, like javac, correct? That way it looks in jdk1.3\bin and finds the
java compiler. Is there anything else I need to know about classpath?
