As Mark stated, you can use an asterisk appended to a directory path in the
CLASSPATH value to add all of the jars in that directory to the classpath.
(It’s been that way since Java 6.) This works even without shell expansion. For
example,
java -cp mylib/* ClassName
does use shell expansion, but will fail if there is more than one file in
mylib, since the shell doesn’t generate path separators.
These constructs:
java -cp .:mylib/* ClassName [works in bash, zsh will complain]
java -cp ‘mylib/*’ ClassName
do not use shell expansion, since a Linux/UNIX shell is put off by the colon or
apostrophes.
