In 1.3 there is extension mechanism for jar files http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/extensions/index.html This simply means you put jar files into jre/lib/ext jre/lib/<arch> # for JNI binaries > You know, I hear the story change every time anyone brings up the > question.

In larger use, say you use about 20 jar libraries from different vendors, using the CLASSPATH becomes quite unusable. I have get my java subsystem on my debian quite well working condition. I put library-jars into jre/lib/ext and run program-jar files as executable. Running jar as executable you have to set binfmt_misc for jar magic and add Main-Class: into jar manifest. -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lut.fi/~hevi/ gsm: +358 40 52 77 589 irc: hevi (IRCnet)
