Problem adding jar to class path

[Black Mage]

I have a jar called BDJ.jar in my home directory and I tried to add it to the classpath by doing

java -classpath ~/workspace/BluRay/ BDJ.jar

But it seems its not reading it because it throws

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BDJ/jar

So how else am I suppose to add a jar to the class path in the command line?

Try

No, it still throws the same error, and the jar is in that directory. Here is the full command line:

john@ubuntu:~/workspace/BluRay$ java -classpath $Home/workspace/BluRay/ BDJ.jar

and then I tried
john@ubuntu:~/workspace/BluRay$ java -classpath $John/workspace/BluRay/ BDJ.jar


and a few other variations wihth no success.....any ideas?

Delete the space between the "/" and the filename, so instead of "$Home/workspace/BluRay/ BDJ.jar" you type "$HOME/workspace/BluRay/BDJ.jar".

I've also change "$Home" to "$HOME" because only the latter exists (unless you manually defined the lowercase one).

The command line is picky on spaces and cases...

Ahhhh, thnx is compiles now using
javac -classpath $HOME/workspace/BluRay/BDJ.jar MySecondXlet.java
but still no success getting the Xlet to actually run, exception because of no main method.

But thnx, thats problem down.

next time add it to the .bashrc file, so you won't have to edit classpath whenever you want to use that jar
