What exactly is a classpath in java? Head First Java 2nd Edition (Beginning Java forum at Coderanch)

Classpath is a parameter—set either on the command-line, or through an environment variable—that tells the Java Virtual Machine or the Java compiler where to look for user-defined classes and packages.

ibm.com › docs › en › i › 7.4.0

The Java virtual machine uses the Java classpath to find classes during runtime. Java commands and tools also use the classpath to locate classes. The default system classpath, the CLASSPATH environment variable, and the classpath command parameter all determine what directories are searched when looking for a particular class.

environment variables - Setting Java CLASSPATH - Ask Ubuntu

I'm not a Java programmer, so I don't know the correct value for CLASSPATH. But, you seem to. You can add it to ~/.bashrc like so:

CLASSPATH=/path/to/1:/path/to/2:/etc

The change will take effect globally the next time you log in. However, it will take effect immediately in new shells.

Additionally, if you want to set it for just one particular command, do this:

CLASSPATH=/something command-here arg1 arg2

A third way would be to create a wrapper script, which would be appropriate if you needed to set multiple variables or if you needed to determine appropriate values programmatically:

#!/bin/bash
export CLASSPATH=/something
export ANOTHER_ENV_Variable=foo

exec your_fancy_program "$@"

that's what happened with me.. i left empty spaces while typing.. it fixed when i removed spaces.

1) if you want to set classpath permanently then 1) find out where java is installed.. you may use " whereis java " openjdk-7/6 is in /usr/lib/jvm/.....

2) we need to set up CLASSPATH in /etc/environment

  sudo gedit /etc/environment

3) add the following likes .. ( DONT LEAVE ANY SPACES WHILE TYPING)(customize according to your java version and installation) (this home path is for open jdk 7)

  JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/bin"

   export JAVA_HOME

   CLASSPATH=".:/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/lib:/home/laptop/Desktop/a2"

    export CLASSPATH

How to print the default java classpath from the command line in windows - Super User

jdk/bin/jps should list all the java process IDs running that system
subsequently invoke jdk/bin/jinfo <pid> to see lot of information... what you require is also there...

No need to print the default classpath. In Java, the default classpath is just the current directory:

If -classpath and -cp are not used and CLASSPATH is not set, the user class path consists of the current directory (.).

(documentation of java:)

Note: For completeness' sake: Theree are two other paths where java will look for stuff:

the bootstrap class path
the extension directory

The bootstrap class path by default points to parts of the JDK, and you almost never want to mess with it (unless you want to override part of the JDK), so you probably should not worry about it. The extension directories are for extending the JDK; see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/extensions/index.html
