Where should I put -cp when compiling/running java files

Question

I tried

javac Something.java -cp ".; some\\\\directory\\\\xxx.jar"

and it worked. I could compile the file in this way.

But when running the file, i realized that I must put -cp in front, making it

java -cp ".;some\\\\directory\\\\xxx.jar" Something

Why is there such a difference?

Thanks
