Question

Java execute jar which depends on other jar from command line

Answer 1

+4 A:

Using the documentation for the Manifest it does not use a ./ for relative directories. Try it just with:

Class-Path: cab.v1.jar

Note that the -cp option is ignored when using -jar.

@krock: Thank you. I tried it, did not work but then extracted jar and saw that eclipse is not using my placing the class-path in the maninifest file. Did it manually and it works. Any idea why eclipse does this?

You must use Export -> Runnable Jar for this.

Answer 2

+1 A:

If you use the -jar option the classpath is ignored. You could start the application by

java -cp jar1.jar:jar2.jar mainclass

The class path separator ':' is ';' on windows.

@stacker: Tried as you said:java -cp cab.v1.jar -jar myApp.jarbut still same error. Note that both jars are in the same directory

@user38706 I wrote that you can't use -jar and -cp together. Here are several options: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html

@stacker: Sorry, my bad. Anyway I extracted jar and saw that eclipse is not using my placing the class-path in the manifest file. Did it manually and it works. Any idea why eclipse does this?
