Okay, I see the difference. Wouldn't the '%~dp0' expansion be the most
flexible? It would allow proper setup if executed in a different
folder?
Why does the current directory (".") need to be in the classpath? I
couldn't figure out what's being placed in there. Shouldn't we move
whatever it is to be in the "build/classes" folder or a "build/lib"
folder to keep everything clean.

%CD% is a dynamic environment variable. It expands to the current
directory (SET /?) while %~dp0 expands to where the bat file is
placed. So these notions are almost the same excepting the possibility
to preset CD variable before .bat execution. I think here this
difference is not important and if you like %~dp0 you can revert the
change (but don't forget about dot please).
Thanks,
