Using "-classpath" in javac

[joecch]

If I have many jar files used to compile my java application, can I use wildcard (the example is shown below) in order to eliminating the full paths for each jar files that make the command clumsy?

javac -classpath $THIRDPARTY_HOM E/lib/*jar abc.java

No you can't do that but you can play tricks with your shell to do the globbing if
you like.
