You do not need a -cp flag while running a java class , -cp needed while running a class or a main program from a binary (jar) file. While running a main program from a command line you need to make sure you have the class in the same folder structure as package name in the java file, ex.

home/user/foo java com.test.className   

here classNmae class file and exist under home/user/foo/com/test

hope it helps.
