CLASSPATH Environment Variable

Q

If a class is located in a package, what do you need to change in the OS environment to be able to use it?

You need to add the directory or the jar file that contains the package to the CLASSPATH environment variable. Let's say a class Employee belongs to a package com.xyz.hr; and is located in the file c:\dev\com\fyicenter\hr\Employee.java. In this case, you need to add c:\dev to the variable CLASSPATH.
