- Click the
Start
button in the lower left of the screen. - Select
Control Panel
from the pop-up menu. - Choose
System
from the submenu.(Click Advanced system settings on left in Vista and Windows 7) - Click the
Advanced
tab. - Click the
Environment Variables
button near the bottom and you will see two lists of variables. - Look in the
System variables
list for a variable namedCLASSPATH
. If you find it, clickEdit
. If you don't find it, clickNew
and enterCLASSPATH
in theVariable name
field. - The
Variable value
field is a list of file paths of directories orjar
files. The first thing in this list should be the current directory, which is represented in windows just as it is in Unix, as a single period. If there's more than one thing in this list, separate items with a semicolon. For example, my CLASSPATH variable starts with these three items (there are a couple more, but this should be enough to give you the idea). The only part you need is the first "dot"..;C:\classpath\com.fredswartz.ezgui.jar;c:\classpath\TableLayout.jar;
I put extra libraries that I want to be searched in a directory namedclasspath
, but you can choose any name. - Now just add the following depending on your environment installed on computer. eg.:
D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin
