Description Paul Price 2005-10-05 11:05:01 UTC

When I run the command java-config -a jdbc-mysql I get a file in
$HOME/.gentoo/java-env-classpath with the following in it:

CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:/usr/share/jdbc-mysql/lib/jdbc-mysql.jar

This all seesm to be correct but isn't the java-env file suppose to use this
file to set the CLASSPATH when the user logs in. All the java-env file has is:

if [ -f $HOME/.gentoo/java ] ; then
        . $HOME/.gentoo/java
fi

I also looked in $HOME/.gentoo/java and it doesn't use the
$HOME/.gentoo/java-env-classpath file either. It seems like to me that setting
users CLASSPATHs is broke but it works for global settings.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Setting classpath's using java-config-1.x is no longer supported. Please use java-config-2 instead, If there are issues using java-config-2, please open a new bug with the specifics.
