在运行时访问jar文件库

Question

In my code, near the top of one of the source files is this line:

import com.google.code.chatterboxapi.ChatterBox;

This is an external jar library, and when I ran my code, which I build into a Jar file, in the command line outside the IDE I was using, Java complained that it couldn't find com.google.code.chatterboxapi.ChatterBox. How do I tell the JVM where to find the jar where the libraries are?

Answer 1

You use the classpath option of java

-cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
-classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
              A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
              and ZIP archives to search for class files.
