Hi guys,

Relating to chap 10 of SCJP Study guide book, I can not understand the answer of 11th question:

kindly see and explain why option C is not the correct answer?,
where does " MyJar.java" comes from in explaining option C to be wrong

11. Given the following directory structure:
test-|
|- GetJar.java
|
|- myApp-|
|-Foo.java
And given the contents of GetJar.java and Foo.java:
3. public class GetJar {
4. public static void main(String[] args) {
5. System.out.println(myApp.Foo.d);
6. }
7. }
3. package myApp;
4. public class Foo { public static int d = 8; }
If the current directory is "test", and myApp/Foo.class is placed in a JAR file called MyJar.jar
located in test, which set(s) of commands will compile GetJar.java and produce the output 8?
(Choose all that apply.)
A. javac -classpath MyJar.jar GetJar.java
java GetJar
B. javac MyJar.jar GetJar.java
java GetJar
C. javac -classpath MyJar.jar GetJar.java
java -classpath MyJar.jar GetJar
D. javac MyJar.jar GetJar.java
java -classpath MyJar.jar GetJar
Answer:
􀀂 ✓ A is correct. Given the current directory and where the necessary files are located, these
are the correct command line statements.
􀀂􀀁 B and D are wrong because javac MyJar.jar GetJar.java is incorrect syntax. C is wrong
because the -classpath MyJar.java in the java invocation does not include the test directory.

I think its typo, please refer to the K&B errata in the SCJP FAQ.
Also, as you are overwriting the -classpath settings, it won't find the "GetJar".

Thanks for the reply.

Actually I couldn't understand, is there a different rule of overriding of javac and java command?

I'm talking about the "-classpath" settings getting overwritten here:

Try,

It includes the current "test" directory with the jar file in classpath.
