| <h1>Classpath Variables</h1> |
| |
| <p>The build path for a Java project can include source code files, other |
| Java projects, folders containing class files and JAR files. JAR files can be specified using file |
| system paths, or by using variables that refer to locations on the |
| network. </p> |
| |
| <p>Classpath variables allow you to avoid references to the location of a JAR |
| file or folders on your local file system. By using a classpath variable, you can |
| specify a JAR file or folder using only a variable name, such as JRE_LIB, |
| rather than specifying the location on your workstation. In |
| this way, you can share build paths across teams and define the variables to |
| refer to the correct location for your particular computer.</p> |
