CLASSPATH with j2sdk1.3

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

hi everyone,

just installed j2sdk1.3 from blackdown (ony because I need java for
another application) -- but nothing's working, because my CLASSPATH
variable didn't get defined during installation.  Is this normal?  Is
there a way for me to set it to a standard value (but I'd rather not
have to do it manually -- I don't understnad java AT ALL)?  Any
suggestions?

also, I need to seet JAVA_HOME to an appropriate value -- is this
/usr/share/j2sdk1.3  ?

Anyway, thanks for y
our help.
best,m
