Include jar file in Scala interpreter

Question

Is it possible to include a jar file run running the Scala interpreter?

My code is working when I compile from scalac:

scalac script.scala -classpath         


        

Answer 1

"lib/*.jar" generates a list with blank between items not ":" or ";" as required. Since Java 6 "lib/*" should work, but sometimes doesn't (classpath is set somewhere else)

I use a script like:

1. Windows:

   @rem all *.jars in lib subdirectory
   
   @echo off
   
   set clp=.
   
   for %%c in (lib\*.jar) do call :Setclasspath %%c
   
   echo The classpath is %clp% 
   
   scala -classpath %clp% script.scala
   
   exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%
   
   :Setclasspath
   set clp=%clp%;%~1
   exit /B 0
   

2. Linux:

   #!/bin/bash
   
   #all *.jars in lib subdirectory
   
   clp="."
   
   for file in lib/*
   do
     clp="$clp:$file"
   done
   
   echo $clp
   
   
   scala -classpath $clp script.scala
