Run java application from command line with external jar files
classpath, command-line, jar, java, noclassdeffounderror
Solution
If the class is in bin directory :
java -cp xxx.jar;bin pck1.pck2.MainClass
If the class is in the current directory :
java -cp xxx.jar;. pck1.pck2.MainClass
and so on...
More info in the manual, please read it at least one time... ;-)
Problem
I have an external jar file(have package structure), which contains the main class, and I can run the app from command line like this: ``` java -jar example.jar ``` But I still have another `test.class` file outside this jar file, and some classes inside this jar file will invoke the methods in `test.class`. How can I specify the `test.class` file to be used by jar file in command line? Tried many ways, always show: ``` NoClassDefFoundError for test.class ``` NB: the test.class file also use class files in example.jar file, has its own package structure. I know I can put them together in one jar file, unfortunately I need separate the test.class file.
