geting error in specifying class path when running program from cmd

Question

I am trying to run program from command prompt

Here is my director structure

In the classes directory i have this structure

In the email folder i have two properties file general-mail-settings.properties and customer-mail-settings.properties

Now when i run the command

D:\vintnes\lasses>java -cp ".;..\dependency-jars\*"  com/softech/ls360/integration/BatchImport vintners

Then i get the error that

java.lang.Exception: Email Properties File not found: src\main\resources\email\general-mail-settings.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)
    at 
...

I tried this to specify path

java -cp ".;..\dependency-jars\*;.\email\*.*"  com/softech/ls360/integration/BatchImport customer

But still i am getting the error. I tried ;email\* and \email\*, but still i am getting the error. How can i specify path so program get run?

Thanks

You put a path to src/main/resources in your code somewhere. This is a directory used by Maven builds to hold "resource" files (files that aren't code but that should be copied into the finished artifact, like configuration files or media). The contents of src/main/resources are copied directly into the root of the artifact as-is, so in this case, the email directory is copied straight into your classes directory. Remove the src/main/resources part of the path from your properties lookup.
