java linux terminal -cp auto-complete

Question

I'm working with a java library which needs two files 'library.jar' and 'library-extensions.jar'. Whenever I try to include both of them separated by a colon (eg -cp "library.jar:library-extensions.jar") and try to use auto-complete on the second jar file, it substitutes the first argument for the second one.

ie

I have something like this:

java -cp "library.jar:l

I press 'Tab' to auto-complete the second argument and it changes to:

java -cp "l

Is there anything I can do to enable proper auto-complete on additional arguments?

I'm using terminal on Ubuntu 14.04.

Answer 1

You are using double quotes (") which is causing you problem.

Remove double quotes & auto-complete will work easily :)
