I have recently downloaded and installed j2se 1.4 on my Linux box. I'm having problems running a program in a jar file unless my current directory is where the jar file is located: java -jar msv.jar arg1 arg2 This seems like a classic classpath problem but I have ensured that my classpath is set to point to the directory and .jar file as in: CLASSPATH=/home/dennis/msv-20011113/msv.jar I get a ZipException indicating the the file doesn't exist. Of course when I return to the directory where the jar is defined, it all works well. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be? I'm running RedHat 7.2 Thanks,    More>>

The CLASSPATH is used for finding classes, not for finding jars. The -jar option doesn't use it, so you need to give an explicit path:



java -jar /home/dennis/msv-20011113/msv.jar arg1 argc
