Trying to run a jar file with bat

Question

I'm trying to run a regular .jar not runable .jar file using a .bat file

The jar file is named mytest.jar, and I'm trying to execute it using in the .bat file:

java -classpath "mytest.jar"

and it doesn't work.

What's the error you're seeing? You need to specify the class where your main() method resides after the .jar file. — Craig, Aug 13 '15 at 14:43

If it is an executable jar

You need to put the -jar flag.

Use:

java -jar /path/to/your/jar/mytest.jar

you need to use:

java -cp $CLASSPATH:/path/to/your/jar/mytest.jar YourMainClass

and on Windows,

java -cp %CLASSPATH%;/path/to/your/jar/mytest.jar YourMainClass
