Mac OS Yosemite and java classpaths

Question

For school we need to add a library for Java development. These are the steps that we need to follow:

$ cd ~
nano ~/.profile
Add: export CLASSPATH=.:~/Library/javautils/*:$CLASSPATH
Save with Ctrl+o and Enter
Quit nano with Ctrl+x
Quit and reopen Terminal

But when I try echo $CLASSPATH it doesn't return anything. On Mavericks it didn't seem to be a problem. So it's Yosemite's fault. Anybody have any I idea on how I can fix this?

@Goibniu the star is significant - `foo/*` in a classpath means "all the `.jar` files in the directory `foo`", whereas just `foo` means the directory itself. — Ian Roberts, Oct 29 '14 at 14:38
Can you tell us what happens when you write `shopt nullglob` in your terminal? — RealSkeptic, Oct 29 '14 at 14:46

Look at this Where is JAVA_HOME on OSX Sierra (10.12), El Captain (10.11), Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks (10.9), Mountain Lion (10.8) or OSX Lion (10.7)?

Java 6 is not compatible with Yosemite, if you have Java6 you should update to a newer version.
