The jar has to be inside your java path.

You have to write something like this. 

javac -classpath \path\to\lib.jar src.java

You can compile your code like this from the directory /abc/assi1:

 javac -cp .:/abc/public/assi1/your.jar -d . your-java-class.java

Then you can run your code like this from the directory /abc/assi1:

 java -cp .:/abc/public/assi1/your.jar your-java-class

-cp option sets the class path for you on command line. It adds the required jar file and the current directory . into your class path.
