Difference between PATH and CLASSPATH
Hello friends; today we will discuss about difference between path and classpath in java. Path variable is set for all the tools like java, javac, javap, javah, jar, appletviewer etc. and classpath is set for provides path for all predefined class in java.
Set Path
“C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin”
All the tools are present in bin folder
so we set path upto bin folder
Classpath variable is used for
all the classes which is used in our program so we set classpath upto rj.jar.
in rt.jar file all the .class files are present. When we decompressed rt.jar
file we get all the .class files.
Set ClassPath
“C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\lib\rt.jar”
Here rt.jar is a jar
file where all the .class files are present so we set the classpath upto
rt.jar.
