Hello all
im trying to start jar with sh script
i have foo.jar
and i have this sh that does not work ...

what im doing wrong here ?

Are you sure about that ".;"? Should it perhaps be "./"?

its does not help
im getting this error :
./foo.jar: ./foo.jar: cannot execute binary file

why do you need exec ? You can just do :

i need to tell java about class path in my case the local place that is ->"."
im reading from there configuration files . so i can't run only the jar
even when i do without the sh
java -cp /.;foo.jar com.umen.Main
or
java -cp .;foo.jar com.umen.Main
im still getting the error :
./foo.jar: ./foo.jar: cannot execute binary file

but when i do :
java -cp foo.jar com.umen.Main (without the ".")
its working , but my java app failed Because it is looking for the configurations files from "."
so why i can't add the "." to -cp ?

do you have the configuration file in the same directory as the jar? If so does the jar have a hard coded path of where the configuration file needs to be stored?

no it does not it uses the java ResourceBundle mechanism
that basically takes the files from the classpath

even if i do :
java -classpath /home/umen;./foo.jar com.umen.Main
it still gives me the error:
/home/umen/foo.jar: /home/umen/foo.jar: cannot execute binary file
