Question

How to add multiple .jar files in the javac/java class path - for Debian Linux.

Iam using,

javac -cp a.jar folder1\folder2\b.jar Test.java

But, it is giving Invalid flag error. Can anybody help me how to compile and run it ?

Solution 1

Separate the class path entries by : colons, not spaces.

Solution 2

Also you should use '/' instead of '\' as directory separator.

Solution 3

Also use quotation marks " to specify a classpath when using Powershell:

 javac -cp ".;folder1\folder2\b.jar" Test.java
