Thinking that you could just point to a directory full of JARs and have all the classes in all the JARs automatically available is one of the oldest newbie problems in the book.

Think of it like the $PATH environment variable in Windows or *nix. You don't specify the name of each executable file, only the directories where the executables are located.
J. Kevin Robbins wrote:I generally recommend that people avoid using the $CLASSPATH environment variable. It just leads to headaches like this. You should be able to specify the directory where your jar files are located like so:
javac -cp /home/alan/jars main
You can't combine the $CLASSPATH and the -cp option. When you use -cp or -classpath it takes precedence over the environment variable.
