Executing program through commandline

I am trying to execute a program on command line having dependencies on external Jar files stored in jar folder.

It can be executed as below.

java -cp jar/somejar.jar:. MyProgram --abc xyz

Is there a possibility if I can do the same without mentioning the jar files, something like below?

java MyProgram --abc xyz

Set your CLASSPATH environment variable to contain jar/somejar.jar:.

Assuming Unix/Linux, in a shell do

export CLASSPATH=/absolute/path/tothejar/jar/somejar.jar:.

Then the java interpreter will rely on the environment variable if the command-line option isn't given.
