If the lib/ directory contains only .jar files, what’s the difference between
java -cp "lib/*" ...
and
java -cp "lib/*.jar" ...
If I use the latter I ran into errors regarding main class and I don’t understand why. lib/* also contains lib/., but is this the crucial difference?
According to the documentation of
javaonly a basename of*is supported and it only ever matches .jar files.Nothing in the documentation suggests that “*.jar” is supported or that the directory itself is added to the classpath.
