lots of typing ahead :)

You need to include each jar individually on the classpath, or put the names into the MANIFEST for your own jar (see the specification of the MANIFEST file and the documentation of the jar command on how to do that)

Use a build tool like Ant or Maven to ease this task. Using a build tool has become a d-facto standard for compiling / building / deploying your application and you should definitely go that way if you plan on surviving in a professional setting.

Build files are platform agnostic unlike shell scripts which are platform specific and can be run easily with minimalistic modifications. Google for 'Ant tutorial' to get started.
