Add multiple classpath entries to scala REPL classpath

Question

:cp seems to only accept a single entry

scala> :cp /usr/lib/hadoop/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:/usr/lib/hbase/*:/usr/lib/hbase/lib/*:
/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/jars/*:/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/bundles/*:

The path '/usr/lib/hadoop/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:/usr/lib/hbase/*:/usr/lib/hbase/lib/*:/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/jars/*:/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/bundles/*:' 
doesn't seem to exist.

Any thoughts on how to do this when already in the REPL. Yes I know how to set it up from outside the REPL :

CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:/usr/lib/hbase/*:/usr/lib/hbase/lib/*
:/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/jars/*:
/home/sboesch/spark-master/lib_managed/bundles/*:  scala 

EDIT It seems the intent were not clear. I am working on code in the REPL. Then have a new snippet of code that requires a few classpath entries. It is a ONE OFF affair: so I do not want to add to build.sbt or to the scala/lib dir , etc. I did not receive any answer really satisifying this use case, but awarded the best efforts anyways.

scala -cp "path1:path2" now seems to work.
