.classpath file instead of the CLASSPATH Environment variable.

Writing a java client application in Eclipse, and I would like to call
it at the command line. I noticed that the IDE generates a .classpath
file in the project directory. Is there a way to call the program at
the command line and utilize the .classpath file in lieu of setting
the classpath environment variable?

No.

But generate a jar file with a Class-Path directive in the
manifest.

Using the Bourne shell:

java -classpath `cat .classpath` className
