The format of the classpath (-cp argument) uses the operating system path separator, to match the behavior of PATH. So you want : instead of ; for separating paths.

Also, you seem to be using an empty path element when I think you want to explicitly reference the current directory ..

Also, I think the handling of the * wildcard varies by Java implementation, so you need to make sure the versions match.
