I was trying to point out the fact that the only place jvm will look for 
classes is in its own installdir and speaking in general terms, not 
opencsw-specific.
It will not find the stuff in /opt/csw/share/java unless you set the 
classpath (either through environment variable or by option when 
invoking java/javac).
There is nothing like LD_OPTIONS/LD_LIBRARY_PATH/RUNPATH when it comes 
to java.
