classpath - environment variable [message #298025]

For a project I'm working on I need to include the JDBC thin driver from
Oracle. This ojdbc14.jar file is different for each version. Now I want to
include it in my classpath by using the %ORACLE_HOME% environment var. How
can I do that?

This is what I try to add to the classpath:

%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar

At first I added the jar to my project but this makes my application
version dependend. Someone has experience with this? Any help on making
this version independend is really appreciated!!!

You should define a Classpath Variable for it under Preferences | Java |
Build Path | Classpath Variables

Then in your Project's build path settings, you can include that
variable. This will include it on the build path.
The runtime classpath should automatically use the build path by
default, but you can always edit the Launch Configuration for your
application and manually change the runtime classpath to include the
variable, too.
