Sporadic "Could not find or load main class"

Question

I am trying to run a Java executable through the command line.

First I go to the directory the executable is located at and execute the following:

java -cp .;JARNAME-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar main.class.name

This is a packaged jar so it does not have any .class files.

However, this command sporadically throws the Error: Could not find or load main class main.class.package.name error message.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get to the bottom of this?

Thanks

what do you mean "This is a packaged jar so it does not have any .class files"? Where are class files? — talex, Sep 04 '14 at 14:16

Last argument is class name, not package name

Thanks talex, that was an error, I do have the main class name. – czchlong Sep 04 '14 at 14:19
