Is this running any java program?

[Gemini Moses]

This a statment in one of the shell script in my project.
all the variables JAVA_HOME, HOME_PATH1 -4 and FILE1 are difined in the shell script.
Can someone please tell me how to interprete this statement? Is this running any java program?

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java �classpath $JAVA_HOME/lib:$HOME_PATH1/spin.jar:
$HOME_PATH2/route.jar:
$HOME_PATH3/crack.jar:
$HOME_PATH4/xmlparserv2.jar:
$HOME_PATH4/classes12.jar com/mech/proj/rate $FILE1

What is FILE1 defined to be?

[Gemini Moses]

FILE1=$HOME5/conf/rateConf.xml

[Barry Gaunt]

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java is running the java interpreter (Java Virtual Machine - JVM)
com/mech/proj/rate is the program (rate.class)
$HOME5/conf/rateConf.xml is input file to the program ( could be some configuration file)
�classpath $JAVA_HOME/lib:
$HOME_PATH1/spin.jar:
$HOME_PATH2/route.jar:
$HOME_PATH3/crack.jar:
$HOME_PATH4/xmlparserv2.jar:
$HOME_PATH4/classes12.jar
-classpath is telling the JVM where to look for the program and/or the imported classes that it requires.
