Are you asking how to run a JAR that has as a dependency another JAR? If so, you need to specify how you generated that JAR and what error message you're getting.

If your application is in (say) "myprogram.jar" and it depends on "javax.mail.jar", then you would run it like this:

$ java -cp myprogram.jar:javax.mail.jar com.test.myprogram.Main

(On Windows, you need to use ; instead of : as the classpath separator.)

However, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have "myProgram.java" and "anotherProgram.java" BOTH declare a Main class ... by which I assume you mean a class called Main. The problem is that since both versions of the Main class are in the same package, compiling one source file will overwrite the Main class produced when you compile the other source file.

If understood correctly I would expect it to work except you need to mention both `.jar` files. – Ole V.V. Dec 08 '16 at 10:50
