Re: The confusing world of classpath

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Finding jars and finding files may be two different things.  Classpaths 
tell Java where to find jars.  Paths tell programs where to find files. 
I can't remember the setup the log4j but the location of the properties 
file may need to be included in your path statement.

As for wildcards.  There was a post in the last few weeks that dealt 
with that.  It isn't "automatic". There is a specific way of 
accomplishing that and not all versions of JVM's support it IIRC.

Search the archives, it is in there somewhere.
