Lately I have been trying my hands on Eclipse IDE for java development. I am mostly a novice to java programming. I am trying a servlet project, using Tomcat5.5 as container. I am getting issues when I give import javax.servlet.* statement in my class files, as Eclipse complains that it cannot find that particular package. I am working in windows environment, and have already included following on my classpath:

.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\common\lib

Any ideas, as what might be going wrong?

    One last thing: that CLASSPATH value you posted looks suspiciously like a Windows system environment variable value. You need to know that every IDE and Java EE app server out there, including Eclipse and Tomcat, completely ignores CLASSPATH environment values. It’s best to know how to set CLASSPATH appropriately for your situation. I don’t have a CLASSPATH environment setting on any machine that I work on.
