Er... yeah.  I understood all of that. :o)

I went with Geoffrey's for loop idea, it fit nicely with what I was trying to do:

CLASSPATH=$HOME/java:.
for jar in $HOME/java/lib/*.jar; do
   if [ -f "$jar" ]; then
      CLASSPATH=$jar:$CLASSPATH;
   fi
done
export CLASSPATH

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
