I would like to execute a compiled class which is part of a jar from command line. The class has a main method.

Create a manifest and get it into the jar also. The manifest is what gives the JVM a clue as to which class to look in to find the main method.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
