I am still trying to figure out the CLASSPATH enviroment variable and how
it is used in compiles and also by HotJava. Perhaps someone could clarify this
for me.
1) Does HotJava itself use this environment variable?
I believe it does because jpayne from starwave has a warning in his
embedded component docs saying that new classes such as his need to be
in CLASSPATH when compiling but should not be when running HotJava or
you will not be able to run applets using the classes but located somewhere
else.
2) Do I need a final slash on directory names in the CLASSPATH environment
variable?
3) If the class is in directory /hotjava/mydev/classes should i put
/hotjava/mydev/classes in the path or just /hotjava/mydev ?
I may be getting confused with the SRC part of the apptag.
4) Is there any way to tell the AppletViewer applet to use CLASSPATH rather
than having to manually tell it where to look?
5) How do directories under a class directory in the CLASSPATH handled?
Are they searched automatically? If the user specifies explicitly the
package name in the html source? ex: app.TestPanel3
This stuff is really getting frustrating...I want to get on with the
programming
Sun doc people: when you get time and revise the manuals please put some
discussion of this into them. Thanks
Jeff
