classpath

with Tomcat I have no problems using third-party API's, I just put them in Tomcat/common/lib and include them in the classpath when compiling..

but with a stand-alone I can't get it to work.. I put the two packages in jre/lib and have put command for compiling in a batch file, thus:

javac -classpath c:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\jre\lib\jfreechart-1.0.1.jar;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\jre\lib\jcommon-1.0.0.jar;. %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

then to compile I do '<runBatch> myFile.java'

but still java can't find the packages... I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.. I AM importing right packages.. am trying to compile src file I copied verbatim from here:

would appreciate any help.. thank you..
