Re: cant's compile with javac

ok now I've set my CLASSPATH, but it didn't help much... this comes
directly from my console:

here it works:

>-----begin screen shot-----<

D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin>javac

where possible options include:
-g Generate all debugging info

now, when i move away from the directory that contains javac it doesn't
work:
>-----begin screen shot-----<
D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin>cd ..

D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05>javac

D:\java\server>echo %CLASSPATH%

was also that way when CLASSPATH was just . (period).
