setting classpath

[peter <pe...@btinternet.com>]

hi

I'm trying to compile some classes but am getting errors indicating my struts packages cannot be found.  Is it because I've not set my CLASSPATH variable?  If so, how do I dynamically set the CLASSPATH variable to include the struts.jar, commons.*.jar files?

Thanks

Peter

Peter,
If you're on windows this batch file can be adapt to your
environment.
I think this is a good way to get started, for proper big projects
people seem to use the Ant tool.
regards,
Keith.
