Issue1400245

I am new to Jython and Java. I would like to execute 
a .jar file in jython once I have started jython in 
the shell cygwin, what is the command, and where 
should I have my .jar file for Jython to find it?

For general help on using jython, please ask on the

For this question, if i understand correctly, you want to
access some classes in a given jar file from within jython.
to do this, you should add the jar file to your CLASSPATH
environment variable before starting the jython interpreter.
If you are doing this from cygwin, you'll also have to be
careful in the way you specify the classpath, ie escaping
backslashes as in 'CLASSPATH=c:\\tar.jar' etc. After that
you can import the class within jython using its fully
qualified name .
