Re: Openoffice java ?

Yes, CLASSPATH often consfuses people but it's very simple. It's the path
the Java classes are located at. Java and the compiler Javac use this
variable to find them. The PATH variable is so the operating system can
find the Java and Javac utilities. If you have an intelligent install
script or wizard then you don't need to set the CLASSPATH because the
installer knows where it's going to install itself. That's my story and I'm
sticking too it....for now.
