> I am trying to compile a java program from the command line, and I am being lazy^H^H^H^Hcreative with my classpath, so I do this:
> 
> javac -classpath ".:j2ee.jar:`find . -name "*.jar" -print | tr '\n'':'`" Tester.java
> 
> which doesn't find my classes, which i know exist.  So i trim out the find function as so:
> 
> find . -name "*.jar" -print | tr '\n'':' 
> 
> but it returns a normal find output (i.e. file\n file\n file\n).
> 
> why doesn't the tr replace the newlines with :  ?
