reading env. variables.

[dotolee]

Hi. I'm trying to use the getProperty() method to read an env. variable called
"egix". I set it up using control panel in win 2000.
Some of the articles I read said that I have to run
java -Degix="<%egix%>" MyClass

Everytime I try to do this, I get an error that says:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyClass

I've successfully compiled MyClass, in which I try to query this value.
I haven't packaged anything yet.... and the .class file is just sitting in
my development directory. Is this the problem?

This isn't anything to do with your technique for reading environment
variables. If you run "java MyClass" you will find the same problem, which
is that your MyClass class isn't in your classpath.
