You can tell the JVM to use a specific classpath via the -classpath option on
the command line. In my (non-Windows) shell I have aliases set up:

alias xt	'java -classpath /home/mike/xml/xt-20020426a-src/lib/xp.jar:/home/mike/xml/xt-20020426a-src/lib/xml-apis.jar:/home/mike/xml/xt-20020426a-src/xt.jar com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver'
alias saxon	'java -classpath /home/mike/xml/saxon:/home/mike/xml/saxon/saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet'
alias xalan	'java -classpath /home/mike/xml/xalan/bin/xalan.jar:/home/mike/xml/xalan/bin/xml-apis.jar:/home/mike/xml/xalan/bin/xercesImpl.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process'
alias oraxsl    'java -classpath /home/mike/xml/oracle/lib/xmlparserv2.jar:/home/mike/xml/oracle/lib/xmlmesg.jar oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl'

The syntax for setting aliases will vary from shell to shell, of course, and
obviously you want to adjust the paths, but you get the idea...

I've also got 4Suite, libxml and Sablotron installed, so I have '4xslt',
'xmlproc' and 'sabcmd' in my path already; no need for aliases for those.
