Setting classpath permanantly on linux

Helloa folks;
My serach through the archive didn't turn up any answer to this. I am trying to set the classpath variable permanantly on Linux (SuSe). I have been using "export JDK_HOME=YadaYada", but this doesn't live on between sessions and re-boots. How does one permamantly configure this environment variable for all users including root on a linux bo so that it lives on between sessions and re-boots?
TIA, Will-

Please, don't cross post! Check answer in

  • Setting Classpath in linux

    Hi !! Can anyone help me in setting classpath in linux to run servlets/? I tried using this command..but didnt work
    export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/tomcat5/server/lib/servlets-common.jar"
    Thanks
    Nive

    in ur autoexec.bat file write the following
    set PATH=C:\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;%PATH%
    set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_04
    set
    CLASSPATH=.;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\servlet
    -api.jar;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\jsp-api.ja
    r;C:\Servlets+JSP;..;..\..;C:\jakarta-struts-1.2.4\lib
    \struts.jarThis response is meaningless. Principally because the OP specifically mentioned the use of LINUX. Not Windows.
    I've taken the advice of other forum users by avoiding a system level classpath variable. I define the classpath each time I compile and run. Working on Linux I tend to use command line argument files ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html#commandlineargfile ) which eliminates the need to redefine the classpath each time I compile or run my classes and apps. But others may do things differently.
    Here is a website you might want to check out which pertains to setting the classpath on Solaris and Linux.

  • Setting CLASSPATH's on Windows & Linux

    I am still new Java programming language, but I am coming along in learning the actually language. The one problem I keep running into is how to set a CLASSPATH on a windows machine and Linux machine. I have currently installed j2sdk1.4.2 on the windows machine and jdk1.5.0 on the linux machine. If any one has any suggestions on how to set these CLASSPATH's I would greatly appreicate it.

    Before ammending classpath I recommend checking the
    windows path variable. This variable is a list of
    folders where windows looks for executables.
    Path can be viewed by going to control panel ->
    system _> advanced table -> environmental variables
    and then selecting path and then edit.
    Make sure �C:\Program Files\Java\J2SDK1.5.0\bin� (or
    equivalent)is included.
    Alternative you can enter �path = %path%; �C:\Program
    Files\Java\J2SDK1.5.0\bin� into command prompt each
    session.
    This ensures that you can compile and execute java
    programs from any directory. Ideally the java
    installer should do it but I have found it does not.Indeed.
    Similarly the classpath can be varied from either the
    command prompt or it can be added to the
    environmental variables.I'm one of those that recommends folks not set CLASSPATH using an environment variable.
    IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ totally ignore it; so do containers like WebLogic and Tomcat.
    One CLASSPATH does not fit all. Every project is unique. The best way to set it is with the -classpath option on both javac.exe and java.exe.
    For compiling, you should learn Ant. It's a make tool built on Java and XML. That'll help with your compilation issues.
    For running, you'll either run in a container, which has its own idea of CLASSPATH, or you can script the startup of a batch job using a Windows .cmd or *nix .sh.  Set the CLASSPATH in the script.
    If altering it from the command prompt, in windows
    use a �;� between paths variables and a �:� for unix
    systems. Also include a �.� as one of the path
    variable as it includes the pre-existing class path.
    For example, when entered from the command prompt (in
    windows), the following line will add �C:\
    JavaPrograms� to the existing Classpath
    Java �cp .;C:\JavaPrograms
    Alternatively go into environmental variables as
    described above and if a classpath variable does not
    exist, create one and include �.� and your desired
    directory.
    Note: I prefer adding directories to the classpath
    via the environment variables as it is more accepting
    a folders with spaces in the name.Installing software in a folder with spaces in its name is asking for trouble. It's not highly recommended.

  • Setting the classpath permanently

  • Setting Classpath on windows platform

    Hello
    I was trying to set classpath of "D:\documentum\config" in my environment variable , i was doing it through command
    prompt , the command i was implementing was
    set classpath=D:\documentum\config;
    but the when i was closing command prompt , the environment variable in windows named as ClassPath was not updating
    i have also tried this command
    set classpath=%classpath%;D:\documentum\config;
    this also having the same result , so how can i set this property through command prompt
    Regards

    You can permanently set command line environmental variables through the advanced settings in Windows. You have to hunt around for it a bit, it is somewhere behind opening the right click properties of "my computer" (or whatever it is called in your flavor of Windows) and then choosing advanced. An "environmental variables" tab should be present there.
    BUT! I would not advise you to set a classpath variable unless you fully realize that is only to make your development life a bit easier when working on the command prompt. When making your application ready for deployment the classpath must be managed without the variable. A script could work, or packaging everything up as an executable jar. When you start to work with an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans you don't need that variable at all any more.

  • To set classpath or unset classpath? That is the question

    I notice that Sun application examples make a point of unsetting the classpath when starting rmiregistry. In Windows they suggest the command:
    unset CLASSPATH
    but I have found that I get the response:
    Bad command or file name
    Any suggestions?
    However, having said this, I have found it advantageous to having the classpath set when I start the rmiregistry for the following reason:
    When I try this sequence of commands, things seem to work pretty simply:
    set classpath=c:\javaWork\project
    start rmiregistry
    java Server
    However, if I try it this way, the java command line has to be more complicated:
    start rmiregistry
    set classpath=c:\javaWork\project
    java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/c:/javaWork/project/ Server
    Is there any reason I shouldn't use the first way of going about it? Or a compelling reason for going for the second approach?
    Thanks, Rob

    Yes, and to reiterate daney's post ...regarding the question in your header... if the rmiregistry can find the classes in the classpath, it will make no attempt to download the stubs to your client. Since it sounds like you are supplying permanent stubs with your client, this will be of no concern to you. However, that is the explanation as to why you keep comimg accross this information in your sources. :-}

  • Set classpath for java in fedora core 1?

    i am new to programming java on linux and im having trouble finding out how to set classpath in the shell, permenently. i have the sdk installed and tried the usual "hello world" test and failed. the response i would get a message telling me javac is not a bash command. i have no clue how to set classpaths in linux so i would much appreciate it if someone would show me thanks

    Ok, there is two ways to achieve this. Either by setting it globally for all the user, or only for your self. If you are working on your own station and have super user access, you can set it up for all th eusers, if not, just set it for your self. How ??
    for all the users, modify the file /etc/profile and include this:
    PATH=$PATH:/path/to/jdk/bin:.
    CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/jdk/lib/tools.jar:/path/to/jdk/lib/rt.jar
    export PATH CLASSPATH
    If you want to add it only for ur self then, modify the lsame line in ~/.bash_profile
    hope this helps

  • Trouble Setting Classpath on Windows XP

    I'm having trouble setting up a classpath on Windows XP for SDK1.3.1_04.
    I've tried Control Panel\Advanced\Environment Variables\System Variables. There was a Path variable present, to which I've added:
    c:\jdk1.3.1_04\bin;
    There wasn't a Classpath variable present though. I've tried adding it myself in System Variables as follows:
    Variable name: Classpath
    Variable value: set classpath=.;
    But no joy. When I run "set" from the command prompt, there's no classpath present.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I am running on XP (unfortunately), but also win2000 and win98.
    Setting up the classpath is not a problem, although if you are logged in as root, then it does not always show correctly.
    Try logging back in as yourself and then checking the classpah through the set command.
    Altrnatively, if this is not the problem, actualy try a reboot. which should not be necessary.
    best

  • How to set classpath from java class ??

    I have tried to use System.setProperty("java.class.path", "my class path string ") to set classpath dynamically. But it is not working. How to set it dynamically from java class ?? Thanks , gary

    Look into the java.net.URLClassLoader. You can't set the classpath after the fact but you can specify URL's that will checked when you try to load a class with that loader.

    Don't worry about it. The CLASSPATH variable is best avoided anyway. Specify classpaths for particular apps on the command-line. Teh Docs show you how

    Question 1: Are you using an IDE?
    [IDEs ignore the system classpath]
    Question 2: Did you try setting the classpath using the -cp option for javac, if you are not using an IDE?
    [you could also try to print the classpath on command line to check if it has taken effect]
