classpath problems

I have the j2sdk1.4.2 and I have a mysql server setup and I wanted
to write a program to connect to the mysql server and grab some
information. I downloaded the jdbc drivers from the mysql site, and I
set my classpath and put both the org and com folders and their
subdirectories in the classpath as well as the jar file with the drivers
but the only way I succeed in compiling the program is if I put the com
and org directories in the same path where the program I've written
resides. I'm using the netbeans 3.5.1 ide

Thanks for any and all help.

I should have included that I get an exception thrown that the class
cannot be found if the directories with the classes are not in the same
directory as the java source file.

Thanks Again

Don't put the org and com directories in the classpath. Instead, put in
the directory where they can be found.

For example, if you've got org and com in (Windows) C:\mycode\org and
C:\mycode\com, then C:\mycode should be in your classpath. That way,
when you refer to classes in the org.* and com.* package hierarchies,
they will be properly resolved.
