Get jars properly in my Classpath

[Saithn]

For compiling a simulator I have to set some jars in my classpath. However it doesn't seem to work.

I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and compiling using java is no problem. However, the classes in the jars give erros (they can't be found, so classpath problem I suppose).

The four jars are located at:

/home/delodic/Study/mason/itext-1.2.jar
/home/delodic/Study/mason/jcommon-1.0.0.jar
/home/delodic/Study/masonjfreechart-1.0.1.jar
/home/delodic/Study/mason/jmf.jar


~/Study/mason$ sudo gedit /etc/environment

gives


PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
CLASSPATH=":/home/delodic/Study/mason/itext-1.2.jar:/home/delodic/Study/mason/jcommon-1.0.0.jar:/home/delodic/Study/masonjfreechart-1.0.1.jar:/home/delodic/Study/mason/jmf.jar"

I extended the environment by adding the CLASSPATH="...." so maybe I have to add something more?

I just found all packages in the synaptic. However, when compiling I still get errors. First errors that the packages don't exist, and later missing symbol messages. The pacakage erros:


sim/util/media/PDFEncoder.java:7: package com.lowagie.text.pdf does not exist
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
^
sim/util/media/chart/ChartGenerator.java:22: package org.jfree.data.xy does not exist

import com.lowagie.text.*;
^

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;

And all jars are now installed using the synaptic

Try setting the classpath like this (putting the leading point):


CLASSPATH=".:/home/delodic/Study/mason/itext-1.2.jar:/home/...and so on"

If that doesn't help consider posting your source code including the packages, I will try to compile and see what's the matter (but don't promise anything).

Thanks for your reply. To bad it didn't work. However, I've chosen different software now, so this is not a problem anymore :)
