The problem most likely is that you're including '.' (the current directory) in the classpath, but cron usually starts a script using /tmp or /var/tmp as the current directory. cd to your home directory first, after that it should work as intended.

If not, please post a meaningful error message, for example the message cron sends as email when a process fails.

The options are: Subject The subject of the email message. EmailFrom The sender of the email message. EmailTo The recipient of the email message.
