Including Jar while executing Java from Bat file

Question

I want to execute a Java class from a bat file and it include usage of opencsv.jar. Below is the code:

@echo off    
set path=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin    
javac -cp opencsv.jar ArbitrageUsingThread.java    
java ArbitrageUsingThread

I am getting the following error when running it. I think there is some problem with including opencsv.jar Can anyone help me with this?

Error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: au/com/bytecode/openc
sv/CSVWriter

Answer 1

java is similar to javac for classpath.

Under linux:

java -cp opencsv.jar:. ArbitrageUsingThread

Under windows:

java -cp opencsv.jar;. ArbitrageUsingThread
