Is it necessary to include jars found in /whatever/lib directories in the
classpath? Are those jars not for use by other jars (mostly to be included
in the classpath) or whatever in other parts of the ultimate parent (/jdk in
this case) directory?
I've never used anything from CVS, so I may be totally wrong here, but does
the CVS not contain source of parts or the whole of the latest ( and often
not thorougly tested) version of the application under consideration,
PostgreSQL in this case? If that is true, is the classpath needed for
anything but compiling the jar file containing the driver from the CVS
source? Or is PostgreSQL written in Java?
I realise this may be slightly off-topic, but it does concern PostgreSQL, well
at least somewhat, and I'd love to get the basics right.
Thanks everyone,
