Hello,

How to output to the console the current CLASSPATH ?
A small program console is welcome.

Thanks,

How to output to the console the current CLASSPATH ?

Note that Sun has recommended for quite some
time, that the classpath should be set at
compile or run-time. As such, if you have
one project compiling, and two executing, there
may be three separate and distinct classpath's.

A small program console is welcome.

As is large amounts of cash (in small
denominations of non-consecutive serial
numbers).

I believe that

String s = System.getProperty("java.class.path");

should do it.

You can get it with the new RuntimeMXBean too, example at

Bye.

here we can specify all the files in the runt time by setting class
path with different files between we have to give semicolon
u can see the path ECHO command

Thanks Real, for your code and your link.

"u" is a letter.

Classpath elements are directories, not files. Semicolon is the path delimiter
only for Windows.

A path, such as PATH or CLASSPATH, comprises path elements (directories)
separated by the path separator character (OS dependent).

The "ECHO" command is also OS dependent; in UNIX it's "echo".

Perhaps the OP intended for a Java-based solution to obtain the runtime
classpath, not the envar CLASSPATH?

Not true.

The classpath definition can contain jar files (and zip files) as well,
not only directories.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, and don't forget remote URLs. I deliberately
omitted that consideration to stay in context with the OP's question.
