[PLUG] Sun Java and Classes.zip

["Joseph B. Welsh" <JWelsh@colpenn.com>]

Hey List,

I am hoping someone can help me out.

I'm trying to run an application that needs Java, so I go to SUN's
website and download their latest version (1.3.1).

I get it installed and setup correctly so the applications can see it.

However when I try to run my app it gives a message saying I should set
my CLASSPATH variable to my classes.zip path. According to the docs I
have read it should be  /usr/java/(javahome)/lib/classes.zip

I look at my installtion and find I don't have a classes.zip :(

So since this was the runtime enviornment I go back and get the full
blown version and guess what...?  no classes.zip in that package either
:(

Is it a seperate download?  Am I missing something obvious?  Is
classes.zip like milk and sugar to coffee? ( I know bad joke, but I am
truly fustrated by this installation.)

If it matters I'm running Mandarake Linux 8.1 with 2.4.8 Kernel.

Thanks,
Joe
