I don't know about the "Whitebox" (whatever that is) OS, but on my Sparc Solaris boxes, anything placed in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ is automatically added to CLASSPATH when a Java app is started-up. > > After I built it, some further messing around was necessary to discover > that I needed the JDBC, and that I needed to edit CLASSPATH some more.
