RE: using java on command line in windows

You need to modify your environment variables because a classpath is not set
for you automatically.  I don't know why Sun does it this way, but that's
how it is.

Subject: using java on command line in windows

Hi all --
I need to run some java commands in windows and have a quqestion on how to 
do it in dos command window, rather than in cygwin or MinGW.
I understand there are 2 environment variables that are a good idea to 
set -- JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH. Does this apply in the windows commands? Is 
it necessary to set these variables in windows, or will the defaults be set 
correctly in the installation?
I installed the JDK6 and am hoping to just use the command line rather than 
battle with Eclipse. (What can I say -- I am anxious to hack...)
Thanks.
