Add jar files to classpath at launch time

Question

I want to add some jar files to my binary at runtime, but I keep getting errors. I'm running this on a Windows machine. My code is in a directory called SeleniumTest.

Here is the command I used to compile:

javac SeleniumTest\src\com\src\test\First.java -d SeleniumTest\bin -cp SeleniumTest\lib\junit-4.10.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-java-2.39.0.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar

This worked successfully. However when I try to run this command:

java -cp SeleniumTest\lib\junit-4.10.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-java-2.39.0.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar SeleniumTest\bin com.src.test.First

I get a message:

Error: Could not find or load main class SeleniumTest\bin

My code, First.java exists in

SeleniumTest\bin\com\src\test

What am I doing wrong?

Have you considered using [Gradle](http://www.gradle.org/), [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) or [Ant](http://ant.apache.org/) / [Ivy](http://ant.apache.org/ivy/) to manage your build and dependencies? — lance-java, Jan 31 '14 at 13:53

try this

java -cp "SeleniumTest\lib\junit-4.10.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-java-2.39.0.jar;SeleniumTest\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar;SeleniumTest\bin"  com.src.test.First

Does'nt work. Won't I need to specify the SeleniumTest directory? – user1801060 Jan 31 '14 at 13:33
@user1801060 What is the error printout for this example? – Andremoniy Jan 31 '14 at 13:36
Where does `First.class` exist? – laz Jan 31 '14 at 13:38
@Andremoniy: "Error: Could not find or load main class SeleniumTest\bin" – user1801060 Jan 31 '14 at 13:39
@Iaz: SeleniumTest\bin\com\src\test\First.class – user1801060 Jan 31 '14 at 13:40
It looks like you are missing the drive letters on all of those paths – laz Jan 31 '14 at 13:53
@Iaz: I'm running using relative paths. If it worked during compile time, I believe it should work at runtime – user1801060 Jan 31 '14 at 14:02
