Remove that classpath variable, it isn't needed to make it point to the lib directory. Make sure you have compiled your Free.java class (check if there is a Free.class file generated) and run it like:

Code:

---

java -cp . Free

kind regards,

Jos

Use -cp or -classpath and provide the path where your class file is supposed to be.

For more details, refer here: java application launcher.
