How to compile a java application which uses Google webdriver from comand line without ant

Answer 1

On the webdriver homepage one can read

• Add $WEBDRIVER_HOME/common/build/webdriver-common.jar to the CLASSPATH
• Add $WEBDRIVER_HOME/htmlunit/build/webdriver-htmlunit.jar to the CLASSPATH
• Add all the Jar files under $WEBDRIVER_HOME/htmlunit/lib/runtime to the CLASSPATH

So you have to put all the jar files behind -cp like that

javac -cp /home/iyo/webdriver/common/build/webdriver-common.jar:/home/iyo/webdriver/common/build/webdriver-htmlunit.jar FirstTest.java

You probably have to add all the jar files from htmlunit/lib/runtime to the classpath as well.
