[gentoo-dev] CLASSPATH addition in ebuild

[gentoo-dev] CLASSPATH addition in ebuild

I'd like to make an ebuild for the java-mail api. It requires additions
to CLASSPATH. How would I add a file to env.d that would have
'CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:/path/to/java/mail.jar'?
Thanks

	Hi;

	Maybe you should just put a bit of bash script in
/usr/bin that wraps this java thing, and sets whatever env
variables it needs.?

It's not an app, though, it's just a set of extension libraries for
java. Let's say you're using forte for java to code, or any other editor
for that matter, you can't access these libraries unless they're in the
CLASSPATH.

	Hi;

	Ah, I didnt read that close enough.
	In that case, just put a file in /etc/env.d, such as
66java-mail

consisting of:

CLASSPATH="/path/to/java/mail.jar"

env-update seems to be smart enough to graft it together with
other classpaths and puts the result in /etc/profile.env, which
is sourced by /etc/profile.
	I dont know if there is any convention on what sort
of number you should choose-- I believe it determines order
of processing.

Hi Jacob,

I think you have to put your classpath in:

/usr/share/<package name>/package.env

e.g. here is an example for ant:

brain root # less /usr/share/ant/package.env
DESCRIPTION=""
CLASSPATH=/usr/share/ant/lib/*.jar:/usr/share/ant/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/ 
usr/share/
ant/lib/xml-apis.jar

then a user is able to configure their system and user classpath to  
their liking whith java-config.

e.g. show what is installed:
java-config --list-available-packages

java-config --set-system-classpath=package1,package2,...
and
java-config --set-user-classpath=package1,package2,...

This is a great concept and worked very well for me.

Hope this helps

Dominik

Thanks, I think this is a much better way to do it.
