No need to set CLASSPATH

Posted by Kishori Sharan on November 02, 2000 at 10:26 AM

Hi
There is no need to set CLASSPATH in java2 to access all java classes. You need to set the CLASSPATH only when you are putting your java classes in a package and you want to access those classes ( put in package ). When you install java2 the java home directory is set in registry automatically ( of course, for windows ) and java runtime reads all java classes using the entry in registry.
Thanx
