classpath and manifest.mf

843841Jan 10 2005 — edited Jan 11 2005
what is the difference between classpath, buildpath and a Manifest.mf paths?

I believe class path is used at run time to look for the classes referred in this path.
Build path is used to build the application i.e. to link the components used while compiling and building classes.
Manifest.MF is also used for runtime resolution.

What different purpose did classpath and manifest.mf serve?
