[Biojava-l] problems installing biojava on Windows XP professional

[Mark Schreiber]

Hi -

First off, depending on the version of biojava you downloaded you may
need Java 5 (JDK 1.5) or later.

Secondly, you need to add JAR files to the CLASSPATH variable not the
PATH variable. PATH is where windows searches for executables.
