DaysOld assigment - classpath

[Koni Olmos]

I'm working on the DaysOld assignment and it references classpath configuration. I'm using WSAD 5.01 to do these assignments. I have not a clue what classpath needs to be changed and how to change it. I have about 30 classpath files on my computer.
HELP!!!

[Marilyn de Queiroz]

classpath files? Classpath is an environment variable. It can and usually must be set in each IDE as well. Why do you have 30 classpath files?

Hi Marilyn,
I would assume the classpath files are related to an application that I am running on Websphere. Most of the files seem to be in either Websphere or application directories.

I guess I don't understand exactly what a "classpath file" is.

[Simon Brown]

WSAD stores files inside the project directory, one of which is called ".classpath" and is used to store the list of JARs, etc that represent the class path for building that project. To change this, in WSAD, right click on the project in any of the perspectives and choose Properties. Then take a look at the Build Paths section. You can edit class path entries here.
Apologies if this isn't exactly correct, I don't have access to WSAD today.

Are you experiencing problems whilst compiling your class or running it & are you attemting toi run if from within WSAD or at the DOS / UNIX prompt ?
If you are having problems compiling and/or running it within WSAD. Simon's advice is 100% correct.

Simon's note solved the problem. I went into Build Java Path and clicked the library tab. Next, I clicked the Add External Jar button and that solved it.
THANK YOU!!!
