Actually, don't. Use the classpath instead. CLASSPATH is an antipattern for 
most use cases.

The problem with the CLASSPATH environment variable (envar) is that it affects 
*every* Java program on the system. To tell the *particular* project about the 
library, as the OP requested, you have to tell the *particular* project's 
classpath where to find the library.

RTFM. The Oracle site goes into details about the "tools" (java, javac, 
javaws, etc.) and their options.
