In Last Post We Have'seen "How To Set Path For Java in Different Environments".Here is A Post On Setting Class Path.Before Going Into it . First What is ClassPath? Already We Set Path ? is'nt Sufficient ? What's The difference Between Path and Class Path.
PATH: is a system variable used to tel to OS all locations of exec files.
CLASSPATH: Is Pure java variable, which is used to tel locations of all jar/zip(classes) files to Compiler.It is Used To Locate User Defined Classes.It Tells the Java compiler and the Java runtime where to find compiled classes.
For Ex: If We Want To Use Java Database Connectivity Drivers Or Servlets etc We Need To Specify This.
Setting Up Java Class Path in Windows :
1.Right Click My Computer-->Properties
Setting Up CLASSPATH In Linux:
In Linux you can Do This Simply By typing CLASSPATH="your classpath" in Terminal.
Here Select The Path from either your .bash_profile or .bashrc script which will run whenever you login into your Linux or Unix Machine.
