Question

I have created Excel Sheet using Java program. It works fine.

My problem is, I have copied the .class file into other directory with the necessary jar files need to create this excel sheet, for example

My .class is inside "pack" package.

c:/myprogram/pack/excelprogram.class to d:/myprogram

                                           /pack/excelprogram.class 
                                           /jxl.jar
                                           /ojdbc14.jar 

If I run the program

 javac pack.excelprogram

it display below error

 Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jxl.format.CellFormat

I have dependency jar file (jxl.jar) for this Excel sheet creation. Error is displaying from that only.

I have set class path for this jar file like

 set classpath="%classpath%";d:/myprogram/jxl.jar;d:/myprogram/ojdbc14.jar;.; 

even though I’m getting the same error.

First: You have a class-file (excelprogram.class) if I understand you right. If you want to execute this, you should use java, not javac (that is the compiler to produce the .class-files).

To the question itself: you can specify the classpath on the java-commandline. Try:

java -cp "jxl.jar;ojdbc14.jar;." pack.excelprogram
