I'm testing the java developers environment and its not working as I 
expected

[ruben@localhost cs664s16]$ cat ./helloworld.java 
public class helloworld {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
         System.out.println("Bonjour le monde !");
 }

}


[ruben@localhost cs664s16]$ echo $CLASSPATH
/home/ruben/GNUstep/Library/Libraries/Java:/root/GNUstep/Library/
Libraries/Java:/usr/lib/GNUstep/Libraries/Java:.:./


[ruben@localhost cs664s16]$ java ./helloworld.java 
Error: Could not find or load main class ..helloworld.java


this works however:

[ruben@localhost cs664s16]$ java helloworld
Bonjour le monde !



So, I am completely confused.  How can it not take the specified file 
name to run?

Also, where is the $CLASSPATH set?  in the system /etc/profile ?  I 
should probaly add ./ to the bashrc file?
