problem with classpath being too long with java
Hi,
I have to add a ton of jars to compile my java and
I am hitting the w2k limitaiton on variables.
Can some suggest a way to get all of my jars in my classpath
without running into the w2k limitation?
thanks,
arthur

replace j2re1.4.2_04 with the location of you sdk:
Mine is: C:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\
Mine is: C:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\
In general, when you specify a directory in the CLASSPATH then everything below is found.
So, if you put all jar's in ONE tree, you only have to specify the tree-top directory once.
;JOOP!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Another alternative is to extract the files you need from the original jars and repack them into your own jar for deployment. I have used this method on a large telco project and most IDE's provide a facility to make this quick and painless.
Bewarned though that if you are using a common code base or a shared web server you could encounter problems with Class/Library version conflicts, but as long as all involved are ware of the situation it can be managed easily.
Hope this helps mate.

Hi,
I put all my jars in the following directory:
C:\java\jdk1.3.1_07\jre\li
Still getting issues with finding classes, do I have to do anything extra
for the jdk to read those jar files?
Thanks,
Arthur

Is that the only jdk on your machine, i suspect you may have another
Could be.
I agree, sounds like there is more that one JDK/JRE on your machine mate. Try doing a seach on your hard drive for all directories with the name "ext". This should give you an idea of the JDK/JRE's that you have.
Hope this helps mate.
