What you should do is set CLASSPATH to point at those jar files.
I have:
setenv CLASSPATH .:/usr/local/java/swing/swingall.jar
This will then use the jar file (which is a zip file) and support the
local directory.
The -classpath option is very poorly defined in JDK 1.1 since it
completely replaces any classpath that may exist. The problem with
this is that the JDK system classes (in classes.zip) are not included
when you do this. However, if you set the CLASSPATH environment variable
the java wrapper script will correctly add on the JDK system classes to
the class path.
