When dealing with JAR files, each entry in CLASSPATH should be the
full path to the JAR file, e.g.,

export CLASSPATH=/home/eric/lucene/lucene-core-2.3.0.jar:/home/eric/lucence/lucene-demos-2.3.0.jar

You use a plain directory as a CLASSPATH component only if you intend
to use .class files that has not been packaged up in a JAR.
