The above works while you have your command line window open. However, it is dependent upon your operating system where you set it.

In Windoz, you have to go to the Control Panel, open the "System" program, go to the "Advanced" tab and edit the Environment Variables. I would set it in the System Variables, although you could set it as a User Variable to be used just by yourself.

In a Unix/Linux environment, you need to set those in your .profile file so they will be used everytime you log on. Look at how the environment variables in the .profile file are set in the script to determine the correct syntax.

Hope this helps.

To set the variables do this on your command prompt.....

set JAVA_HOME = C:jdk1.3.1_06

set CLASSPATH= .;%JAVA_HOME%lib

SET PATH = %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%in

You can also put the above statements in your autoexec.bat (In Windows) so that you need not set them everytime you compile and run your code.
