Question

I am trying to run a jar file on linux of swing project using JavaFX . I have installed JRE7 on linux .

My project jar is using two jars: jfxrt.jar and lucene.jar . I have copied the jars to /home/projectdir/lib/ and also set the classpath by following command

 export CLASS PATH=/home/projectdir/lib/jarfilename.jar

but I am still getting an error while running my project jar with the help of following command:

 java -jar projectjar.jar

Answer 1

you have a typo in enviroment variable: it should be CLASSPATH (without space in the middle).
Also you will need to put both jars:

export CLASSPATH=/home/projectdir/lib/jfxrt.jar:/home/projectdir/lib/lucene.jar:projectjar.jar

or better use relative paths:

export CLASSPATH=lib/jfxrt.jar:lib/lucene.jar:projectjar.jar

But you must use main class name, not -jar, as pointed out in another answer.
