How to debug classpath command line option (-cp) for java executable?

Question

I want to execute the java executable (Open JDK 11.0.2) on Windows from command line and I am not sure if I specify the class path option correctly, eg

java -cp "./foo_\*/*" -version

How can I print a list of all files that can be found by java on the given class path?

Is there something like

echo java -cp "./foo_\*/*"

or

java -debug -cp "./foo_\*/*" -version

Answer 1

Just simply add -verbose:class

See article here: https://dzone.com/articles/how-use-verbose-options-java there are also other options/flag to better debug it.
