I would like to run a jar file right from the command line without having to put the jar file in the directory containing my input files. Any ideas on how I can do this if it is possible?

Wouldn’t you just supply a class path argument when executing the class inside of the JAR? For example:
java -cp lib/somejar.jar org.foo.bar.MyClass
Where -cp is the classpath argument and lib/somejar.jar is the path to the jar you are trying to execute.
I’m not sure I’m clear on what you’re looking for.
