    I'm running a program, which i am on version two of. The first version used a mysql connector, and so the command line to run it looked like this, 
    java -cp ".;mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar" gui.Main

    and it worked perfectly, but now i am using a second jar along with it, 
    poi-3.2-FINAL-20081019.jar
    and i can't seem to get the right syntax to run it from the command line with the two jars.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks

    You could jar your program and then add the 2 referenced jars to the classpath in the manifest and as Sam said above you would only need to call the jar using java -jar jarname.jar

    Have you used ant before? Worth looking into if you haven't as it would make the building and packaging easy for you.
