With Java JDK and Eclipse on a Microsoft Windows computer,
is there a way to use CLASSPATH environment variable folders
for the class files to be used in Eclipse project, Please ?

In other words, From Eclipse Workspace/Project explorer,
is there a way to use Windows Enviroment variable CLASSPATH
folders as the source directory for class files,
without the need to create link to the directory or
without the need to add class folder from Project -> Properties ->
Java Build Path -> Libraries tab -> Add class folder etc....please ?

Thanks
Sam

In other words, CLASSPATH is useful only for
command line (i.e. from DOS prompt) running of the Java programs.

In other words, CLASSPATH is NOT useful when running Java class files
from Eclipse IDE. Is this correct?

Can you please confirm if this is true or NOT.

Thanks
Sam

Yes, it is or no use. You might have more the one unrelated project within your IDE, or you might be working on a newer version of a library you have on your CLASSPATH. Either way, what your Java projects in Eclipse see should be completely isolated, controlled, and reproducible regardless of what that variable holds.
