Pretty basic problem here. So I have a Java package that I have created that has three classes (one has the main method). I am trying to use a few Apache Jars, and have added these to my build path in Eclipse. However Eclipse wont let me build and run it properly, so I am trying the command line. I have added the env var CLASSPATH and pointed it to my lib directory which hold the Apache Jars. However, when I try to use javac I get a bunch of errors:

package org.apache.xmlrpc does not exist
import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient;

I was reading the man page for javac and it said that:

 If neither CLASSPATH, -cp nor -classpath is specified, the user class path consists of the current directory.

So I tried copying the Jars to the same location as my three source files, but no change.

Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

    Classpath variable (or command line option of javac) must contain all jars explicitly. It cannot go through jar files stored in specified directory.
