First off I'm running Ubuntu 9.10

I've edited the /etc/environment file to look like this:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20"
CLASSPATH="/home/travis/freetts/lib/freetts.jar:/home/travis/freetts/lib/jsapi.jar:."

I then run "source /etc/environment" to make sure the changes are included. Then I try compiling my simple test program using this:

javac Test.java

It throws out a few errors, but when I compile like this:

javac -cp /home/travis/freetts/lib/freetts.jar:/home/travis/freetts/lib/jsapi.jar:. Test.java

It works just fine, this leads me to believe that for some reason javac isn't seeing the CLASSPATH environment variable? I can echo it and everything in the terminal:

echo $CLASSPATH gives me what I put in.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
