通过命令行运行Java程序

Question

I am running a Java program with the following command:

java -cp .:./* com.bot.fix.botclient

All the jar files are in the same directory. It works FINE! But what if I want to run it from a different folder?

The full location of the java program is: FIX/fixprog/src/com/fix/botclient

But if I try to run:

java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* FIX/fixprog/src/com.bot.fix.botclient

I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class FIX.fixprog.src.com.bot.fix.botclient

What am I doing wrong? How can I run the same Java program but not in the same directory?

Answer 1

Try if below works. You don't need to specify path when giving the fully qualified name of your java class that you are trying to execute. The "cp" part takes care of it.

java -cp FIX/fixprog/src com.bot.fix.botclient

Answer 2

If you have only jar files try:

java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* com.bot.fix.botclient

If you have also classes you should try:

java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/*:FIX/fixprog/src/ com.bot.fix.botclient

If both did not work perhaps you shoud use absolut path with disk unit if you are using windows.
