Re: [Quickfix-developers] MacBook: /Library/Java/Extensions/quickfix.jar

[Brendan B. <br...@ka...>]

Mike,

/Library/Extensions is specific to Mac OS X.  On Windows I believe  
the quickfix.jar is placed in <quickfix_dir/lib/quickfix.jar.

You need to add that dir to your CLASSPATH so that Java can locate  
the jar.

HTH, Regards,
Brendan
