| 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. |
