To me that section is only an example about how to improve bash configuration, 
but it is not mandatory and we should not force users to follow it by the

That is applicable also to the rest of the "After LFS Configuration Issues " 
chapter., IMHO

Thus bad assumption, IMHO.

The standard

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/jar_file

should work and be enough.
