I have followed the steps illustrated in this link http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_packages.htm but after I restart my system(Ubuntu 12.10) the classpath unsets itself. How can I make it more permanent?

You have to export the path variable for every start again. This could be done in the file .bashrc or .profile in the home folder.
By the way: this is not the right site for asking such questions, do it here: http://unix.stackexchange.com
Have a look:

You can edit your home directory's .bash_profile file and set the classpath there like:
export CLASSPATH=...

Sure it will. Of course it will affect only that particular user, but in most cases it would be enough. – Jul 03 '13 at 10:29

how can I export it to .bash-rc? I didn't find any file like that when I checked home – Ralf Rafael Frix Jul 03 '13 at 10:43

@Kayaman: No it will not. The command export makes the variable only available for child processes. After a reboot of the system those variables are lost and have to get reinitialized. – Marvin Emil Brach Jul 03 '13 at 11:07
