Look at Real Time's java project on sourceforge

http://www.sf.net/projects/rte

You can drop stuff into /etc/profile.d/ to setup the classpath, lots of examples
on SF, but here is a quick on.

#!/bin/bash

JAVADIR=/usr/share/java

for jar in jakarta-ant optional parser jakarta-ant-optional; do
  if [  x`echo $CLASSPATH | grep "/$jar.jar"` = "x" ]; then
    if [ -e $JAVADIR/$jar.jar ]; then
      export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JAVADIR/$jar.jar
    fi
  fi
done
