You got argument order wrong:

robert@fussel:~$ java -help
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
           (to execute a class)
   or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
           (to execute a jar file)
where options include:
...
    -cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
    -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
                  A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
                  and ZIP archives to search for class files.

Any classpath option provided to the "java" command is ignored if the
"-jar" option is used.


That's true but as far as I can see option "-jar" was not used in this
case (see my quote of the command line above taken from the original
posting).
