Bash on windows can't find class even after setting classpath

I need to include .jar file when running the java class. When I use cmd on my windows, I can successfully run using the following command
java -cp .;MyLib.jar; MyClass
However when I tried to use bash on the same PC, I got error - can't find or load main class. I searched online and some say I needed to use ./* instead of just . for the current directory. So far I tried these commands:
java -cp .:MyLib.jar: MyClass
java -cp ./*:MyLib.jar: MyClass
java -cp ".:MyLib.jar:" MyClass
java -cp "./*:MyLib.jar:" MyClass
only getting "ClassNotFoundException" every time.I know the class exists because if I switch to cmd when it runs fine. I was also able to run the class on bash shell on a mac using the following command
java -cp .:MyLib.jar: MyClass
Then I built a simple class and ran in bash without classpath
java MyTest
So using -classpath caused the issue. How do I include the current directory in bash? Why did it work on bash on a mac? Is it because I was running bash on windows? I am so puzzled by this problem.
And if it helps, I can compile in bash just not able to run the class. javac -cp MyLib.jar MyClass.java compiled the file in bash. I am working under the same directory where MyClass.class is.
Edit: the solution is java -cp ".;MyLib.jar;" MyClass. I thought I posted here for anyone who ran into the same issue as I did. Please see comments for explanation. Thank you torek!

Java don't run the main file (classpath)

Hello guys i'm new with java and i'm starting to work with packages etc, i have a problem when i try to run my main file located at
C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\Java\latebd\Test.Java
When i run
java -cp C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\Java\latebd\latebd.Test
instead of having the code running i get this (it's in italian bu basically it's telling all the options when i use java -
Why do i get that?

you need to compile it e.g. javac C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\Java\latebd\*
provide the path where it's already compiled as a classpath, and to run it use java -cp "C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\Java\latebd\*" latebd.Test

Try java -cp "C:\Users\Robert\Desktop\Java\latebd\latebd.Test"

Compiling programs with packages in java using windows command line

I have a .java file which i compiled in a package named "Mypack",using command line as follows
javac -d . file_name.java // The "." specifies the current working directory which was the desktop
so it creates a folder on the desktop named "Mypack"(The package name), in the folder the .class file for my program is placed.Now i did the following
java -classpath "C:\Users\LoRd CuRZon\Desktop\Mypack" file_name // Error Could not find or load main method
Even if i go into the directory "Mypack" and launch command prompt from that directory and try to run the program i still get the same error.

run it as likewise from Desktop,
c:/.../Desktop> java Mypack.file_name

java command requires fully qualified name .
so from desktop run java Mypack.classname

If you have this error:
Error Could not find or load main method
That means you don't write a main method in you code try to write it.
But befor to do those steps:
Fo compiling a programme do this:
java Mypack.file_name
To run it do like this:
java Mypack.classname

Running a java program through command line

I am running a Java program with the following command:
java -cp .:./* com.bot.fix.botclient
All the jar files are in the same directory. It works FINE! But what if I want to run it from a different folder?
The full location of the java program is: FIX/fixprog/src/com/fix/botclient
But if I try to run:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* FIX/fixprog/src/com.bot.fix.botclient
I get:
Error: Could not find or load main class FIX.fixprog.src.com.bot.fix.botclient
What am I doing wrong? How can I run the same Java program but not in the same directory?

If you have only jar files try:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* com.bot.fix.botclient
If you have also classes you should try:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/*:FIX/fixprog/src/ com.bot.fix.botclient
If both did not work perhaps you shoud use absolut path with disk unit if you are using windows.

Try if below works. You don't need to specify path when giving the fully qualified name of your java class that you are trying to execute. The "cp" part takes care of it.
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src com.bot.fix.botclient

Error: Could not find or load main class xxx Linux

I am very new to linux environment.
I am trying to run an simple hello world java class in linux environment.
Hello .java
package com.util;
public class Hello {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hi");
}
}
I have compiled java class in windows environment and uploaded the .class file to linux system into /home/scripts path.
my command is as follows,
java -cp /home/scripts com.util.Hello
when i am executing this command from this same /home/scripts where Hello.class is there i am getting,
Error: Could not find or load main class com.util.Hello and not able to proceed further.
can some one help me in this issue?

navigate to /home/scripts using terminal
javac com/util/Hello.java
then
cd /home/scripts
java -cp . com.util.Hello
Or,
java -cp "/home/scripts" com.util.Hello

At first you must generate your .class file :
javac ./hello.java
This command has generated hello.class file
And after you can run your class file ! :)
java hello

We first know javac command work well.
I also met this error,and i have resolved this.Let me share this.
First we need to find the parent path of your package in your java codes.
Then cd to that path using java package + fileName should work well at that moment.

I had the exact same issue on windows, and I solved it by adding path "." to both CLASSPATH and PATH, maybe you can try this on Linux as well.

Your .class file should not reside in /home/scripts/, but in /home/scripts/com/util/. Take a look at this document that explains the relation between classpath, packages and directories.

Before Specifying the path,ensure you follow these three things meticulously,
1. Close the command prompt window, before specifying the path.
2. When adding path, add bin and semi- colon at the end and
3. If JAVAC command has worked properly, try java -cp class name.

if you want to run program in current working directory where your class reside.
java gives three options.
first option
java -cp Tester
Second option for current working directory
java -cp . Tester
Third option export CLASSPATH variable
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:. (this is the best one if your directory changes) or
export CLASSPATH=$PWD
or
export CLASSPATH=
after that you must sorce the bashrc or bashprofile.
