How can I add jars to the classpath when I invoke Jython *without* adding them to $CLASSPATH?

Question

I\'d like to do something similar to jython -cp FOO:BAR:BAZ argle.py.

If I add FOO, BAR, and BAZ to $CLASSP

Answer 1

jython command supports passing arguments through to the java command... So:

jython -J-cp JAR1:JAR2

You can verify the resulting command by adding --print switch:

jython -J-cp JAR1:JAR2 --print

The above will print out the actual java command instead of executing it.
