1. Path environment variable. The function is to specify the command search path, and when executing the command under the shell, it looks in the path specified by the path variable to see if the appropriate command program can be found. We need to add the bin directory in the JDK installation directory to the existing path variable, and the bin directory contains the frequently used executables such as Javac/java/javadoc wait, and after setting the path variable, you can execute the Javac/java tool in any directory.
2. CLASSPATH environment variables. The role is to specify the class search path, to use the already written classes, the premise is to be able to find them, the JVM is through the classpth to find the class. We need to set the Dt.jar and Tools.jar in the Lib subdirectory of the JDK installation directory to classpath, of course, the current directory "." must also be added to the variable.
3. Java_home environment variables. It points to the JDK's installation directory, and software such as Eclipse/netbeans/tomcat finds and uses the installed JDK by searching for java_home variables.
Turn!! Why would you want to configure Java environment variables?
