Jar and java.library.path

I am trying to use DLL's from a specific place from the disk (because I am using JNotify library).

Using Netbeans 7.4, the following happened:

My temporary program only does:

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path"));

As VM options in Netbeans I have set: -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/. Program outputs: D:/Jnotify-dll/.

When I run it as normal java <jarfile>: It gives main class not set, while I did set it in Netbeans options.

When I run it as java -jar <jarfile>: It gives me my %PATH% variable.

When I run it as java -jar <jarfile> -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/ it still gives me my %PATH% variable.

Does anyone have any clue what is going on? I am getting real tired of it.

The MANIFEST.MF generated by Netbeans:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.9.1
Created-By: 1.7.0_25-b17 (Oracle Corporation)
Class-Path: lib/ORM.jar lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar lib/co
 mmons-dbcp-1.4-javadoc.jar lib/commons-dbcp-1.4.jar lib/commons-pool-
 1.6-javadoc.jar lib/commons-pool-1.6.jar lib/jnotify-0.94.jar
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
Main-Class: bf4.bf4logreader.BF4LogReader

EDIT: java -jar -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/ <jarfile>, but I'd still appreciate an answer.

You need to change the order of your command line arguments:

java -Djava.library.path=D:/JNotify-dll/ -jar <jarfile>
