You need to change the order of your command line arguments:

java -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/ -jar <jarfile>

Problem

I am trying to use DLL's from a specific place from the disk (because I am using JNotify library). Using Netbeans 7.4, the following happened: My temporary program only does: `System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path"));` As VM options in Netbeans I have set: `-Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/`. Program outputs: `D:/Jnotify-dll/`. When I run it as normal `java <jarfile>`: It gives main class not set, while I did set it in Netbeans options. When I run it as `java -jar <jarfile>`: It gives me my `%PATH%` variable. When I run it as `java -jar <jarfile> -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/` it still gives me my `%PATH%` variable. Does anyone have any clue what is going on? I am getting real tired of it. The `MANIFEST.MF` generated by Netbeans: ``` Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.9.1 Created-By: 1.7.0_25-b17 (Oracle Corporation) Class-Path: lib/ORM.jar lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar lib/co mmons-dbcp-1.4-javadoc.jar lib/commons-dbcp-1.4.jar lib/commons-pool- 1.6-javadoc.jar lib/commons-pool-1.6.jar lib/jnotify-0.94.jar X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build Main-Class: bf4.bf4logreader.BF4LogReader ``` EDIT: `java -jar -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/ <jarfile>`, but I'd still appreciate an answer.
