java not finding class in jar after successfully compiling with javac against same jar

I was looking at this question on stackoverflow and thought I'd try to run the benchmark myself. I downloaded caliper and compiled it successfully using maven. I then compiled HashCodeBenchmark from the linked question successfully using the jar that maven created. However, when I try to run HashCodeBenchmark, java complains that it cannot find a entrypoint class inside the jar.

I am utterly perplexed and have no idea what the problem is.

compile:

$ javac benchmark/HashCodeBenchmark.java \
    -classpath caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar \
    && echo success
success

run:

$ java benchmark.HashCodeBenchmark -classpath caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

You're providing the -classpath argument after the class name - so it's just being passed to your main method. You need to provide it before the class name, and include the current directory in the classpath too:

$ java -classpath caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar:. benchmark.HashCodeBenchmark
