How to I include a CLASSPATH variable into eclipse?

When I run my Java application through Linux using "java MyClass.class", with the environment:

"CLASSPATH=/fiscal/dlc/java/util.jar:/fiscal/dlc/java/base.jar:/fiscal/dlc/java/openedge.jar:/home/mxb931/queue/java"

My application executes fine through the terminal.

However, when I try to do it through eclipse, it isn't bringing in those packages (for JDBC communication)

I've read through the documentation, it says to go through, Preferences-> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables... and I added the files util.jar, base.jar, openedge.jar and the directory java (including the full path) and it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Issue has been resolved.
Preferences-> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables was not the correct approach.

The correct approach was to:
"Run -> Run Configurations -> Classpath (tab) -> Add External Jars
and adding the jar files here.

Hey thanks..I was facing the same problem, What u suggested worked well,
but can you explain now why java build path is used for ??
When I was using java build path I was getting warning in the marker tab that
"Classpath entry......will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundException may result."
Ignoring warning I was getting the ClassNotFoundException .
Once again thanks Smile
