I have around hundreds of jars at a particular directory which my application uses. So I thought its hard to add each jars one by one to the classpath. So is there any command or any way so that i can add all the jars at one go. some *.jar should add all the jars.

In general, to include all of the JARs in a given directory, you can use the wildcard * (not *. jar ). The wildcard only matches JARs, not class files; to get all classes in a directory, just end the classpath entry at the directory name.
To check our CLASSPATH on Windows we can open a command prompt and type echo %CLASSPATH%. To check it on a Mac you need to open a terminal and type echo $CLASSPATH.
Yes, you can use a wildcard, as of Java6. See the section on "Understanding class path wildcards"
Class path entries can contain the basename wildcard character
*, which is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all the files in the directory with the extension .jar or .JAR. For example, the class path entryfoo/*specifies all JAR files in the directory named foo. A classpath entry consisting simply of*expands to a list of all the jar files in the current directory.
Prior to Java 6, you had to specify them all individually.
