Jar files not being seen

[hennie louw]

Hi all I've got this little problem
I'm writing an app that is using a 3rd party API.
This is wath my classpath look like on the system
>> C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib;D:\javaProjects\flashmedia\eC-Linck\libs;D:\javaProjects\flashmedia\eC-Linck\libs\smppapi.jar <<
Now the 3rd party API is The smppapi.jar file,
when I compile i get the following

 
[parsing started EcTestModule.java]
[parsing completed 181ms]
EcTestModule.java:9: package ie.omk.smpp.message does not exist
import ie.omk.smpp.message.*;
^
EcTestModule.java:10: package ie.omk.smpp does not exist
import ie.omk.smpp.*;
^

Ok that is what is confusing me, Firstly the API's Jar file is in the class path and also in %JAVA_HOME%\lib directory , so what am i doing worng???

The other wierd thing is that with the jar file mouted in Forte the thing compiles ???
???
Any help would be great
THanks

HI all
Dont worry I solved the problem
It seems i was useing the CLASS_PATH enviroment varible when I should have been using CLASSPATH

Go figure that it could be that simple :roll:

Are you compiling the code using Forte. Most probably the classpath is not getting set.
Try setting the classpath explicitly in the compile command and try
javac -classpath <path> *.java

Which was the one thing you didn't tell us
There's a valuable lesson there about how to present questions if you want help.
