As I understand it, anything above java 1.1 does not require CLASSPATH variables anymore. where you set your PATH variable depends on what shell you're using. > And also, on a side note, what are some of the better Java IDE's for > freeBSD? I've tried Sun's Forte[1], NetBeans[2] and JBuilder[3]; and they're all unfortunately rather slow. Apparently the JDE[4] package for Emacs is apparently very nice, but I've not yet had a chance to try it. Another one I've seen is visaj[5]. You may have better luck asking on the freebsd-java mailing list, or searching their archives. -- mwest@uct.ac.za [1] http://www.sun.com/forte/ffj/ [2] http://www.netbeans.org/ [3] http://www7.software.ibm.com/vad.nsf [4] http://jde.sunsite.dk/ [5] http://www.ist.co.uk/visaj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
