Hi, when I try to install the JAR I get errors that classes are already present and the import fails. I can clearly see in Sybase Central > External Environments > Java > Classes that no classes are already present. So importing the JAR fails, and I had to import each class manually into the database.

It seems like you're telling me that Java in the Database can only see other classes that have been imported. Is that the case?

The documentation seems to imply that classes in the CLASSPATH can be used:

The Sun Java Runtime Environment and the Sun JDK Java compiler use the CLASSPATH environment variable to locate classes referenced within Java code. A CLASSPATH variable provides the link between Java code and the actual file path or URL location of the classes being referenced. For example, import java.io.* allows all the classes in the java.io package to be referenced without a fully qualified name. Only the class name is required in the following Java code to use classes from the java.io package. The CLASSPATH environment variable on the system where the Java class declaration is to be compiled must include the location of the Java directory, the root of the java.io package.

When you import a class using the IMPORT JAVA statement do you also get an error?
