If a directory is provided in the classpath, and that directory contains jar files, do the jar files get included? or must you additionally specify each jar file in the classpath?
Regards,
TY.

In Java 6 (and no previous version), you can use classpath wildcards -- i.e. entries like "/path/to/jardirectory/*". Otherwise, including a directory in which jars exist does nothing -- the jars are not automatically included.

Hi Ernest,
Thanks for the clarification, especially in highlighting the Java 6 difference.
Regards,

According to my experience,If we include a directory/Folder to classpath , then all the jar files will be searched. No need to maintion each and every jar file explicitly
