While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

just check the doc

[quick anchor]

Like in Lua there is package.path that contains all of the possible paths where to take the file that the program requires

What is the path of the Java built-in libraries?

[pulsar cobalt]

wdym

there is no path

why do you want to get that ?

[quick anchor]

Because I do not like the method Maven and Gradle use

[pulsar cobalt]

why ?

and those are different

they will search 3rd party libs

[quick anchor]

iirc everytime you build a project it downloads the libraries from the internet, making not possible to develop a Java project offline

[pulsar cobalt]

well yes, that's the point of a dependency manager

[quick anchor]

Where are the packages like java.io are stored

[pulsar cobalt]

wdym

how it wouldn't work ?

you seem to misunderstand what maven is

maven will automatically download and install 3rd party libs

[quick anchor]

Where?

[pulsar cobalt]

and stuff like java.io is not 3rd party libs

[pulsar cobalt]

from maven central

[quick anchor]

To where

[pulsar cobalt]

folder .m2

in the user folder

but that won't help you

those are 3rd party libs

[quick anchor]

This is not the problem, the library just could add the 3rd party libraries to there

[pulsar cobalt]

what do you mean

java.io is included in java by default

[gaunt ingot]

Closed the thread.

[pulsar cobalt]

please

[pulsar cobalt]

what you have here are languages libraries, the same as java.io
this is not the case of 3rd party

[quick anchor]

I just want to make a library manager that installs the libraries to the folder where are the built-in Java libraries are stored like java.io and javax.swing

[pulsar cobalt]

ah

why ?

[quick anchor]

Because that would be easier to use just import, javac and java

Like

Install a library, and use it everywhere

[pulsar cobalt]

it's already kinda the case

I mean

you could set the classpath to .m2

[quick anchor]

So that is the variable like Lua has got package.path?

[pulsar cobalt]

this would be a terrible idea since you would have hundreds if libs on the classpath, but it would work 🤔

[pulsar cobalt]

I don't know what is package.path

[wide dirge]

I think you probably misunderstand why dependency manager exists. that's exactly what dependency manager uses for. Alathreon been kindly try to figure out why you want to do that

[quick anchor]

It's like a PATH environment variable

[pulsar cobalt]

the classpath is paths where java will search for classes

[quick anchor]

So it is

[pulsar cobalt]

but like I said, this is a terrible idea

dependency managers exist for that

[quick anchor]

Where can classpath be modified?

[pulsar cobalt]

you write in the pom which lib you want to use, and it will install them, end of the story

[pulsar cobalt]

-cp option

note that it will override any other classpath set

so unless you are not using an ide, it won't work

[quick anchor]

Can classpath be modified for every project? Like changing the default classpath in Java folder

[pulsar cobalt]

you could

there is an environment variable for that

I think it's JAVA_OPTS or something like that ?

but like I said

this will probably break everything

[quick anchor]

Is it stored in the Java folder or is it a real environment variable?

[pulsar cobalt]

it's a real environment variable

[quick anchor]

Oh

Ok, thanks

[pulsar cobalt]

but like I said

this will just break everything

since everything relies on classpath

you are not supposed to do that

you are supposed to fill your pom

correctly

[quick anchor]

What if I just add another path to the environment variable?

Or it will break anyways

?

[pulsar cobalt]

wdym

the simple fact of changing the classpath when you are using an ide will break things

as I said

just write your libs in the pom

[quick anchor]

"some/classpath;another/classpath;" + "a/new/classpath;"

[pulsar cobalt]

stop ignoring half of what I say
