If you should know where is the needed pacakge.
Do only "gaze installed spell_provieds_the_jar_file | grep **.jar".
So, CLASSPATH can be setted automatically.
And I think you should not change $JAVA_BASE often.

Sure, that would work well, especially since jar file names may change from version to version.

I have another question.
Must java sources be compiled at each cast. though java's binary may work?
I think binary package is enough.

They need not be, as binary capability will be there, as long as the version is correct. Building from source will only give you compile time errors so that you can see whether you have a broken dependency. If you don't build from source, you have to rely on the spell maintainers getting the dependencies correct.

There are only rare cases where a rebuild from source is necessary, one being when there is a lot of RMI generated stubs, which when compiled on 1.4, sometimes do not run correctly against 1.2.2. Though you will know whether you need to make it a source based java spell or just a normal binary spell.
