No.

Do I get you right: you want to include library classes into your project as source files? A decompiler would help, but for what reason?

if I understand right, you want to use the classes in a jar, without putting that jar in your classpath? yes, that can be done. load the classes yourself, not as daunting as it sounds: look up URLClassLoader, it should help you do this

although I may have misunderstood your question

>> Strict :)then, no. by definition :-)usually, though, if someone is asking a question like this, by 'classpath' they mean the classpath environment variable, or the classpath as passed to the VM at startup.

i have a unix server where i have to put my code then the client will run it from my acctn folder, he will not give classpath variable

javac 朿lasspath

.:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:$ORACLE_HOME/md/lib/sdoapi.zip myCode.java

this is how the code is supposed to work, the 2 zip files mentioned only will be run & then myCode, so now how can i access any other jar file .

> javac 朿lasspath .:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:$ORACLE_HOME/md/lib/sdoapi.zip myCode.javaThe current directory is part of the CLASSPATH, so both compiling and running should work if you simply unjar or124.jar into the same directory where myCode.java is placed.

am sorry but i did not understand, its actually a problem of web appln only where i want to run the appln without specifying the jar files name in classpath.

*Confused*So it is a web application? In htdocs, create a directory named "WEB-INF/lib" (if not already present) and place this or124.jar in there ... done.

I gv teh ans b4: if u wanna compile, unjar or124.jar in2 teh same folder. If u wanna run it, also. If u hav a Servlet engine running it, put or124.jar in2 teh lib folder. If nothing applies, plz give more details abt ur environment.
