"What about a application which needs multiple jar files on its classpath, does all these files (dependencies) needs to be specified using the -classpath attribute on command line"
Yes. Do a search on "executable jar file dependencies" and you'll come across many articles and forum entries relating to this. You are not the first who expected to be able to do what you are trying to do.

Exception is for a class in the App1.jar which is needed by Application.jar (main application file). What about a application which needs multiple jar files on its classpath, does all these files (dependencies) needs to be specified using the -classpath attribute on command line .. There is no other way ? Dominique : App1.jar is included in root of Application.jar so it is physical file itself in the Application.jar ?
