We depend too much on automatic things like maven and ant sometimes and forget how to to the simple things. For example – how do you compile a java program on the command line and use a jar like jdom-1.0.jar and then run that with the java command finding the dependencies in the jar.
rm *.class
javac -extdirs . HelloWorld.java
java -cp .:jdom-1.0.jar HelloWorld
