classpath

classpath

Synopsis
classpath prints the current classpath
classpath <url> adds the supplied url to the end of the classpath
classpath --clear clears the classpath
classpath --refresh cause classes loaded from the classpath to be reloaded on next use
Details
The classpath command controls the path that the command shell uses to locate commands to be loaded. By default, the shell loads classes from the currently loaded plug-ins. If the shell's classpath is non-empty, the urls on the path are searched ahead of the plug-ins. Each shell instance has its own classpath.

If the <url> argument ends with a '/', it will be interpreted as a base directory that may contain classes and resources. Otherwise, the argument is interpreted as the path for a JAR file. While "file:" URLs are the norm, protocols like "ftp:" and "http:" should also work.
