Consider the following command which runs flawlessly using bash:

java -classpath bin:lib/* FunctionalTests.TestRunner

The classes are in bin, jars are in lib, main() is in bin/FunctionalTests/TestRunner:

.
├── bin
├── lib
│   ├── commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
│   ├── commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
│   ├── commons-io-2.1.jar
│   ├── commons-lang-2.4.jar
│   ├── commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
│   └── ...
└── src

When the same command runs with zsh, the output is:

zsh: no matches found: ./bin:./lib/*

Any ideas?

    It boils down to another pair of quotes:

    java -classpath "bin:lib/*" FunctionalTests.TestRunner

    Hope it helps someone in the future.
