I setup classpath in enviroment variables i set a user variable named classpath with value= .;C:\Users\Borut\Downloads\httpcomponents-client-4.1.2-bin\lib
the directory is full of .jar files. yet still when i run a program through cmd it reports an error that the package from the class does not exist.
Historically, you've needed to include the jar files themselves, not the directory they're in, on the CLASSPATH. In recent JREs, you can use a wildcard (i.e., a path ending in /*) to indicate all the jars in a directory. But if you indicate only a directory, then that directory is searched for class files and packages only; jar files are ignored.
You need to either (a) explicitly list the jar files, or (b) use a wildcard classpath (1.6+).
