jooq startup: command line to generate classes

Question

could you help me to change this command line to use it in a MacOS? the jar files will be on the desktop.

java -classpath jooq-2.0.0.jar;jooq-meta-2.0.0.jar;jooq-codegen-2.0.0.jar;mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar;. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /guestbook.xml

Thank you. F.

UPDATE:

ok, this is the full lines and the error that I got. All the listed jars are present in the folder:

java -classpath ~/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-2.1.0.jar:~/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq- meta-2.1.0.jar:~/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-codegen-2.1.0.jar:~/Desktop/JOOQ/ mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /bookstore.xml

UPDATE 2

If I change the path removing ~/ and usign:

java -classpath /Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-meta-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-codegen-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/bookstore.xml

I got a different error:

Apr 1, 2012 5:19:52 PM org.jooq.tools.JooqLogger error SEVERE: Cannot find /Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/bookstore.xml Apr 1, 2012 5:19:52 PM org.jooq.tools.JooqLogger error SEVERE: -----------

Answer 1

Ok found. Commands to use:

1. cd /Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ

2. java -classpath /Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-meta-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/jooq-codegen-2.1.0.jar:/Users/fabio/Desktop/JOOQ/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /bookstore.xml

The ':.' after the last jar file is required.

Thank you.

You can prepend the full path to each jar file (e.g. ~/Desktop/), and you also need to replace the windows classpath separator (semicolon, ';'), with the UNIX/MAC separator (colon, ':'). For example:

java -classpath ~/Desktop/jooq-2.0.0.jar:~/Desktop/jooq-meta-2.0.0.jar:~/Desktop/jooq-codegen-2.0.0.jar:~/Desktop/mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /guestbook.xml
