Im quite annoyed at having to ask this but I cant get it to work. Currently I have a project with:
5 Classes in the src/ folder
2 JARS named profiles.jar and
classifier.jar in the root folder
I want to create a "makefile?" or "batch file?" to compile and run these classes FROM THE WINDOWS COMMAND LINE, but first add the jars to the buildpath? Im not sure how I go about this
When I try to do it, it says that the class is not found, most likely due to me not adding the jars to the buildpath correctly. What are the commands I need to use to run this in command prompt?
Thanks
Philip
EDIT
Thanks for the help, Im having alot of trouble getting it to work tho
Currently I have a project with 5 classes in the src folder, and 2 jars in the jar folder
Here are the commands
Im running:
set
CLASSPATH=C:\wamp\www\news\UserProfiling\jars\classifier.jar
;C:\wamp\www\news\UserProfiling\jars\profiles.jar
Then from the root folder, Im running:
javac src/*.java
Then:
java -cp ./src:./jars/*
src/Interaction
Interaction is the main class, Im getting all sorts of noclassfound errors, am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks Philip

java -cp ./src:./jars/* Interaction

In version older than or equal to Java version 5 you must specify each jar individually, and the root of your source, on your classpath e.g.
java -cp a.jar:b.jar:c.jar:./src MainClass
In version 6 you can use wildcards for the jars e.g.
java -cp ./src:* MainClass
but it might be cleaner putting your jars into a sub directory e.g.
java -cp ./src:./jars/* MainClass
So basically, your makefile or start script needs to construct a command like one of the above.
Update - in response to your second edit, you need to specify the full main class name, so if the class is in a package called 'com.mypackage.MainClass' then you need to do:
java -cp ./src:./jars/* com.mypackage.MainClass
I'd also suggest getting the command working as a standalone command first, before getting the whole script running. By removing moving parts it will be faster to debug and easier to see what's going on.
