Java on Windows command line - NoClassDefFoundError again

This question has so many answers, yet nothing works for me. I try to run a JAR file which I created and which depends on org.json library. I have my WebCfgSigner.jar and json-20180130.jar in C:\bin directory. It all works fine on my computer development computer:
java -jar c:\bin\WebCfgSigner.jar some parameters
I need to run it on my server (Windows Server 2016), where I installed first Java 1.8.something, then 17.0.2... All I get on the server is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/json/JSONObject
I know about CLASSPATH environment variable, so I set it to all the variants below in turn, and nothing changes:
CLASSPATH=c:\bin\
CLASSPATH=c:\bin\*
CLASSPATH=c:\bin\json-20180130.jar
Then I try to add -classpath or -cp to the command line, no difference.
java -classpath c:\bin\json-20180130.jar -jar c:\bin\WebCfgSigner.jar some parameters
java -classpath c:\bin\* -jar c:\bin\WebCfgSigner.jar some parameters
java -cp c:\bin\json-20180130.jar -jar c:\bin\WebCfgSigner.jar some parameters
What else could I do? The json-20180130.jar is what works fine on my dev computer, but again not on the server...

Mac launcher script for Java app

I need to launch a Jar file with a portable JRE. It works on Windows thanks to launch4j, it works on Ubuntu thanks to me, but not on Mac ..... and I can't test it.
The path tree of application:
abcmap/
launcher.command
bin/
abcmap.jar
jre/
bin/
java
Thinking it's like Unix system, I tried this (without specify bash):
./bin/jre/bin/java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar ./bin/abcmap.jar
But this error appear:
MacBook-Pro:~ frcstnt$ /Applications/abcmap-mac/abcmap.command;
exit;
/Applications/abcmap-mac/abcmap.command: line 1:
bin/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory
logout
All files are rwx for all,
All files are UTF8 without BOM
I tried to change end of line to Unix and to "Old Mac" with Notepad++,
Archives are available on my website:
http://abc-map.fr/download/
https://translate.google.fr/translate?hl=fr&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fabc-map.fr%2F
Someone can help me please?
Edit: I think my problem is in the launcher, maybe encoding or bad command ?
Edit: Thanks to the Wim's answer it works. This is the script:
#!/bin/bash
SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $0)
cd $SCRIPTDIR
${SCRIPTDIR}/bin/jre/bin/java -jar ${SCRIPTDIR}/bin/abcmap.jar

The path ./bin/jre/bin/java will be resolved relative to the current directory, not relative to the location of the command file. Try what happens if you run the command from the directory where the command is located.

I think I've found thanks to Wim Deblauwe. I use this:
#!/bin/bash
SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $0)
cd $SCRIPTDIR
${SCRIPTDIR}/bin/jre/bin/java -jar ${SCRIPTDIR}/bin/abcmap.jar
Find the script dir, go to this dir and start operations.

It seems like you maybe don't even have the Java Runtime Evironment installed. You should try running java -version or at least java -h or java --help.
If you output is something like the following:
java: command not found
You should download and install the latest JRE and try again.
If, however, you see your java version, try first using cd to go to the directory of your jarfile and then use:
java -jar -otheroptionshere jarfile.jar
I hope this helps! Tell me, if you still got issues.

java command line compilation

I have a simple, single file java program that relies on a single static jar. The java code and the jar reside in the same directory. For this one-off solution I don't want to bring in the weight of ant or maven, and just want to compile it directly.
On my dev box, the following compiles and runs my code fine:
javac -cp ".;dependency.jar" File.java
java -cp ".;dependency.jar" File
However, on my test box, the java command fails, and I get the following output:
Error: Could not find or load main class File
If I change my classpath arg to -cp "." I get the following output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: dependency
My dev box is 64-bit Windows/Cygwin and java version 1.7.0_55. My test box is 64-bit Linux and java version 1.7.0_45.
What is going wrong on my test box?

The classpath separator character is different on Linux (and on Unix) than it is on Windows. It's ; on Windows, but it's : on Linux (and Unix).
Try this on Linux:
javac -cp ".:dependency.jar" File.java
java -cp ".:dependency.jar" File

How do I run a java program from a different directory?

I have a java program that I would like to be able to run from anywhere on my machine. I would like to run it from my Cygwin command prompt. I've made scripts to call the java program. I added the location of the java program to the classpath, and the scripts work when I run them from the java program's directory. However, when I try to run from any other directory, I get:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: commandprogram/CommandProgram
This is my script:
#!/bin/sh
CWD=`dirname "$0"`
java -cp "$CWD/classes;$CWD/lib/AJarFile.jar" commandprogram/CommandProgram
Changing the java line to the following:
java -cp "$CWD/classes;$CWD/classes/commandprogram;$CWD/lib/AJarFile.jar" CommandProgram
produces the same results.

add your directory to classpath example:
java -classpath commandprogram CommandProgram
or
java -classpath directory_to_program Program

After trying just about everything I could think of, I echoed out the command and saw that there was mixing of Cygwin paths and Windows paths. The solution was to change the script to:
#!/bin/sh
CWD=`dirname "$0"`
CWD=`cygpath -w "$CWD"`
java -cp "$CWD/classes;$CWD/lib/AJarFile.jar" commandprogram/CommandProgram
Then CWD changed to "C:\Program Files\..." instead of "/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/..."
I had previously encountered this problem and solved it with the cygpath -w solution, but then changed my script slightly and didn't notice that the path problem came back.

you have to use a dot to separate packages, not a slash.
java -cp "$CWD/classes;$CWD/lib/AJarFile.jar" commandprogram.CommandProgram

The usual way of running a java file is to save it in the Java/Bin folder and Run cmd
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin> javac filename.java && java classname
If you save the file in different directory such as D:, you can use the following on the cmd prompt:
D:\Project java> set path=%path%;C:Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin

Compiled OK but NoClassDefFoundError when running

I'm trying to send an email using JavaMail API.
I have jdk 1.5 installed in my home directory from self-extracting binary. I'm on Ubintu 9.10
I compile the program using the next command:
~/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/javac -classpath ~/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/javamail-1.4.3/mail.jar:~/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/jaf-1.1.1/activation.jar hw.java
It compiles OK. As you can see I have specified the path to mail.jar and activation.jar
Now I try to run the app using the next command:
~/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java -classpath ~/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/jaf-1.1.1/activation.jar:~/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/javamail-1.4.3/mail.jar:. HelloWorldApp
I get an exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Address
Why can it find classes when compiling and cannot do it when running?
How to correctly run my app?
Thanks in advance

That class should come from your mail.jar. I'm not sure your classpath is being parsed properly. The tilde (~) is a shell function and needs expanding before being sent to the Java process. Have you tried removing the ~ and replacing with /home/{whatever} ? I suspect that's the issue.
