Javac bootclasspath option

I try to add -bootclasspath option when compiling java source like this:

javac -classpath lib/* -target 1.6 -source 1.6 -bootclasspath /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/lib/*.jar Hello.java

I am getting the following error when compiling:

javac: invalid flag: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/lib/dt.jar
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

How should I add the bootclasspath parameter?

Solution

  • I added this -bootclasspath /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/rt.jar instad of /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/lib/*.jar and it worked fine.
