Have to list all *.jar files one by one as classpath?

Question

I use some third party jar files, and it seems that I have to list all the jar files one by one for the classpath. For example, this will work:
javac -classpath .\temp;C:\path\lib\log4j-1.2.9.jar;.\temp;C:\path\lib\jdom.jar -d .\temp -sourcepath @javalist.txtthis won't work:
javac -classpath .\temp;C:\path\lib\*.jar -d .\temp -sourcepath @javalist.txtIt is not a problem when I have a few of them, but what if I have 10 of them? Any better way to do it with the DOS Prompt? Thanks.

Thank you for your replay.
The problem is that I dont' really know what are the *.jar files I need to use at compile time. I have to get the list of *.jar files at runtime. My java program needs to compile any other given java project at runntime, and those projects will have certain project structures, such
project_root
|---src
|---lib
I need to consturcture the right classpath string and pass it to the exec method of the Runtime class. I have already successfully compiled a sample project by listing all the jar files one after one, but still want to know if there is a better way to do it.
