Execute jar file with multiple classpath libraries from command prompt

by

You cannot use both -jar and -cp on the command line – see the java documentation that says that if you use -jar:

the JAR file is the source of all user classes, and other user class path settings are ignored.

You could do something like this:

java -cp lib\*.jar;. myproject.MainClass

Notice the ;. in the -cp argument, to work around a Java command-line bug. Also, please note that this is the Windows version of the command. The path separator on Unix is :.
