Ok so I have a java library package that I have to import whenever I create my java applications. My question is where does this file go? I am new to programming on the mac and I know on windows you had to set CLASSPATH=.;c\javalib\\ etc. but what do I do for Mac OS X?

    Depends on where you're doing your compilation from, I guess.

    If you're compiling in Terminal using javac, then you would want to refer to its location in a file called .bash_profile in your home directory.



    export CLASSPATH=".:$CLASSPATH:/path/to/required/jarfile"



    This is run every time you start a new terminal (assuming you're using bash which is default on Panther).



    You can put the actual jar file anywhere you want.
