Java playing games with me

Postby Slater » Wed Oct 05, 2005 9:48 pm

Before today, I would put in dos...
java <classname>

and the program would run.

Today, that no longer works and I have to type in
java -classpath . <classname>

this is for ALL my programs, written today and before today. Anyone know why this changed? I haven't updated Java or anything, and the version number when using "java -showversion" shows, appropriately, 1.5 (aka, 5.0)

I don't know why it would have changed, but you could add '.' to CLASSPATH.

EDIT: Unless you installed something Java related that messed up the CLASSPATH env var... I know Quicktime did this to me once.
Everywhere like such as, and MOES.

bumping because I still haven't been able to fix this problem, even after uninstalling and reinstalling JDK and JRE, and it's really getting annoying.

Hmm. Try googling for the "(windows version) current path variable". Last time I played with windows it was in autoexec.bat as a line that started with PATH= (IIRC).
