## Setting the Classpath in Java This page is obsolete. To use our standard library files (StdDraw.java, StdIn.java, and StdOut.java), you can place them in the same directory as the main program you are writing. A drawback with this is approach is that you end up with many copies of the same library files, scattered in different directories. Java's *classpath* mechanism allows you to store and access the library files from a common directory. | | |---| | Organizing the Shared Libraries | Place the shared library files (StdDraw.java, StdIn.java, and StdOut.java) in a commond directory, say C:\\introcs.
