Classpath

[Preethi]

i want to set classpath to execute my java file.
My java program was in "C:\Documents and settings\xmlfile"

Java was in "c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin"

Go to System Properties.

@ the Advance tab,
click for Environmental Variables,

Look for "Path" or "path" variable under System Variables...
Click edit

add

Quote:

;C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin

after the last values

Test it....

If there is no any semicolon at the end, better to add it first. Otherwise your previous settings on other applications can be clashed.

After that just open the command prompt and type javac. You'll get options you have with javac, if you do it correctly. This is the easiest way to do it.

another way to do it if u don't have admin rights is to,
open ur dos prompt and type
@path=%path%;C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin;
this will be saved only for that perticler session though..

There is much simpler way too. Wheather you have admin rights or not,

Code:

path=C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin\

%path% will allow u to keep existing entries of path variable....
