# kissme(1)

A free Java Virtual Machine

## NAME

kissme - A free Java Virtual Machine

## SYNOPSIS

**kissme** \[ *-cp path1:path2:path3:...* \] *\<main class\> \[program arguments\]*\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents usage of the **kissme** command.

kissme is used to run a java program. kissme looks for a configuration  file in the current directory named 'kissmerc'. If none is found it looks in the user's home directory, and if that isn't found, it looks for  /etc/kissme/kissmerc.

The kissmerc file contains one line specifying the location of the class libraries:

classpath=/usr/share/kissme/classpath

By default, the above line is used, and the kissmerc file is placed in /etc/kissme/.

You must specify the your own classes with the  -cp path1:path2:...  option.

kissme will not load files from .jar or .zip files, the .class files must be unpacked in the correct directory structure.

Currently kissme only supports the GNU Classpath class libraries.

See http://kissme.sourceforge.net/ to obtain class libraries or to find  out more about kissme.
