Of course before installation, all java examples work fine if you are in tm=
p
and you set
setenv CLASSPATH java
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .

No problems here with java after installation as well.  I do the
following (your install location will probably differ):

setenv CLASSPATH /usr/local/plplot/lib/java
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/plplot/lib/
cd /tmp  #to prove that your current directory doesn't matter.
java plplot.examples.x01
java plplot.examples.x08

Those examples worked fine so I am sure the rest are fine as well.

This brings up some other java install questions.

Geoffrey, I cannot find any installed source for the java files.  Shall I
just change the configuration so the sources will be installed into the
appropriate subdirectory of $prefix/plplot/lib/java/plplot along with
their corresponding *.class files?

Finally, I would like to install
java/plplot/examples into the examples install area
($prefix/lib/plplot5.1.0/examples/). This requires two directories in
CLASSPATH, e.g.,

setenv CLASSPATH \
/usr/local/plplot/lib/java:/usr/local/plplot/lib/plplot5.1.0/examples/java

but so long as that change is made, e.g.,

java plplot.examples.x01

works fine. The reason I would like this change is it just seems more
logical to me to have the java examples installed with the remainder of the
plplot examples, and the java core stuff installed in $prefix/lib/java righ=
t
where it is now. This is just a suggestion, and if you feel the best
solution is the current one with the java examples split off from the rest
of the examples, then I will go along.
