Re: How do others configure classpath?

["Bruce Jin" <brucej@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With JDK1.3, ( 1.2 too?) people don’t need  to change CLASSPATH. Just copy
jar files to /installdir/jre/lib/ext directory and java/javac etc. utilities
will find them.

And there is /installdir/jre/classes directory for classes!
