importing external jar files

Question

I have written a Java code which imports an external jar file. How can I compile and run it on the command-line?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Compiling from the command-line:

javac -cp path_to_jar1.jar:path_to_jar2.jar Example.java

Running:

java -cp .:path_to_jar1.jar:path_to_jar2.jar Example

For Windows, use ; as a path-separator (instead of :).
