Taken from English WITH :

 java -cp MyJar.jar com.mycomp.MainClass /home/myhome/datasource.properties /home/myhome/input.txt

MyJar.jar - the actual name of your JAR file

com.mycomp.MainClass - the full name of your class (with the package)

/home/myhome/datasource.properties /home/myhome/input.txt - parameters that will be passed to the main(String ... args) method
