2 Setting the class path for command- line tools The class path tells Java tools where to find classes that are not part of the Java platform. You can set the path to the classes with the -classpath option or by setting the CLASSPATH environment variable described in the following topic. The -classpath option temporarily overrides the CLASSPATH environment variable for the current command-line session. It's best to use - classpath as you can set it for each application, and it does not affect other applications.

3 Directories listed in the classpath are separated by colons on the UNIX platform and by semicolons on the Windows platform. You should always include the system classes at the end of the path. The classpath is also used to search for sources if no sourcepath is specified. For more information on class paths, see the Java documentation on "Setting the classpath." For more information on the JBuilder IDE and class paths, see "How JBuilder constructs paths" and "Where are my files?" in "Managing paths" in Building Applications with JBuilder.
