Compiling Java code in terminal having a Jar in CLASSPATH

Question

How can you compile the code using javac in a terminal by using google-collections in CLASSPATH?

Example of code trying to compile using javac in a terminal (works in Eclipse)

import com.google.common.collect.BiMap;
import com.google.common.collect.HashBiMap;
public class Locate {
   ...
   BiMap<MyFile, Integer> rankingToResult = HashBiMap.create();
   ...
}

Compiling in terminal

src 288 % javac Locate.java 
Locate.java:14: package com.google.common.collect does not exist
import com.google.common.collect.BiMap;
                                ^
Locate.java:15: package com.google.common.collect does not exist
import com.google.common.collect.HashBiMap;
                                ^
Locate.java:153: cannot find symbol

        BiMap<MyFile, Integer> rankingToResult = HashBiMap.create();

My CLASSPATH

src 289 % echo $CLASSPATH 
/u/1/bin/javaLibraries/google-collect-1.0.jar

Answer 1

  javac -cp /u/1/bin/javaLibraries/google-collect-1.0.jar Locate.java

or, new in Java 6, just let it scan the directory

  javac -cp '/u/1/bin/javaLibraries/*' Locate.java
