classpath quest.

I am trying to use HtmlUnit either from command line or DrJava ide. This software has about 12 separate jar files, and they must all be in the classpath I use for any of their classes to be found by the compiler. When setting the classpath, what do I do: Set it to the directory containing all the jars, or do I set it to each jar separately?

Adding multiple jars is a nuisance, if you can include them as libraries in your project properties it would be much easier.

I found in the DrJava documentation that in the project properties, you can add Extra Classpaths.

Thanks. I am assuming that if i did it the hard way, it would be each jar separately

from Java 6 onwards you can use wild card "*" for including all jars from a directory:

C:\tmp> javac -cp C:\lib\* HelloWorld

will include all jars from C:\lib but be aware lib should not contain anything alter than jars.

This is what i'm looking for thanks.
