如何使用外部类路径执行可运行的jar？

Question

I'm trying to run a Runnable Jar in JAVA with an external jars folder as its classpath on Linux .

java -cp "/path/to/jars/*" -jar app.jar

But I'm receiving NoClassFound exception for a class that in the jars folder. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use full jar name in classpath. Like

java -classpath /java/MyClasses/myclasses.jar utility.myapp.Cool

if you have more than one jar, then append them to the classpath with 'OS' separator.

java -classpath /java/MyClasses:/java/OtherClasses ...
