classpath

[ramya_rav2000]

Hi

I am using Nokia SDk for J2me and am trying to compile. I do not know how to set the classpath. I set it by going to Control Panel -> System->advanced->Environment Variable. There I clicked on the Edit button after selecting the "CLASSPATH" variable

My classpath is "C:\WINNT\System32\QTJava.zip;C:\Nokia\Devices\Series_60_MIDP_SDK_for_Symbian_OS_v_1_2_1\lib\Series_60_MIDP_SDK_for_Symbian_OS_v_1_2_1\j2me-debug.zip"

BUt I am still getting the errors "cannot find symbol"

Please help

Thanks
Ramya

Should I restart the system for the classpath to take effect?

that depends on your operating system.
At the least you must restart your terminal windows and Java based applications for them to see the change.

You know, if you are invoking javac and java from a command (DOS) terminal, you can override the environment classpath on the command line by saying:

C:/> javac -classpath c:/blah/blah/blah;

and

C:/> java -classpath c:/blah/blah/blah;

where the "c:/blah/blah/blah;" business is your classpath. If you want to check that your classpath is what Java "thinks" the classpath is, write a simple program which does the following:

public class CheckClasspath {
[INDENT]public static void main(String[] args) {
[INDENT]System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
[/INDENT]
}
[/INDENT]
}

That ought to print what Java has registered as the classpath at runtime.

cud: ball of partially digested vegetable matter regurgitated by hooved animals.

What's that to do with Java?
