I realize this isn't relevant to your question, but these instructions
are wrong for four reasons:

1. The Bourne Shell does not allow spaces around an equals sign.

2. The Bourne Shell interprets ';' as a control operator that
    terminates the command. If you really wanted a ';', you'd
    need to escape or quote it.

3. The current Linux version of Sun's JVM uses ':' as the CLASSPATH
    separator. (java.io.File.pathSeparatorChar)

4. Merely setting an environment variable in the shell does not make
    it part of the environment of any child processes you may launch,
    such as the JVM. You need to export the variable.

So a fixed version of the command, at least for Linux/Bash is:

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$SOAP_LIB/soap.jar:$SOAP_LIB/mail.jar:$SOAP_LIB/activation.jar
