"package javax.ejb does not exist"- a classpath problem.

Hey.
I have checked the net and 99% of the time it is a classpath problem- but I still cannot fix it!

I am getting this with a run a preconfigured build.cmd file.
error:
'package javax.ejb does not exist'

classpath = D:\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\javax.jar;D:\Program Files\Blazix;.

javax.jar contains javax\ejb, which contains the classes.

Any ideas
Eoin.

Please post the output of this command from the command line:

echo %CLASSPATH%

D:\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\javax.jar;D:\Program Files\Blazix;.

including the '.'

The EJB classes may not be in javax.jar. Post the output of

jar -tf javax.ejb | find "javax.ejb"

Is there no j2ee.jar?

I assume I should be in the directory that javax.jar is in.
I get the following error when I run your command- however should it be jar -tf javax.JAR instead of javax.EJB??

java.io.FileNotFoundException: javax.ejb (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:64)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:186)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)

I have no j2ee.jar, so I downloaded the javax folder.

Doh sorry - typo!

Should have been

jar -tf javax.jar | find "javax.ejb"
