I am using Selenium WebDriver, Jsoup, Opencsv, and Java to parse HTML pages including javascript of one website, and then generate csv file. I can run it from Eclipse but I want to automate it using batch file. My java program has two classes - main and website. So I copied those two classes that generated by Eclipse and put it in one folder. Then I also copied all the external jar files such as selenium 2.33.0, opencsv-2.3 and jsoup 1.7.2, and created batch file in the same folder as

@ECHO OFF
Java Main pause

Then I tried to run batch file, but it failed. I tried again to change the batch file as 

@ECHO OFF
set CLASSPATH=.
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Data\Website\selenium-2.33.0\selenium-2.33.0\selenium-2.33.0\*.jar;C:\Data\Website\selenium-2.33.0\selenium-2.33.0\selenium-2.33.0\libs\*.jar
Java Main
pause

but still the same error produced as 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/W
ebDriver
        at Main.main(Main.java:6)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver

Kindly help. I searched how to run Selenium webdriver tests from batch file but I found out that JUnit is needed. I just use Java, and third party libraries to get my requirements. Thanks advance.

This answer is easy.

@ECHO off
SET "SELDIR=C:\Data\Website\selenium-2.33.0"
SET "CLASSPATH=.;%SELDIR%\*.jar;%SELDIR%\libs\*.jar"
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" -cp "%CLASSPATH%" MainClassName arg1 arg2
PAUSE

I tried your code but still got the same error from cmd. I can't also see org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver folders in that selenium-2.33.0 folder that was downloaded and extracted. But when I used Selenium Webdriver in Eclipse, I used as the following without those folders and sub folders and got no error in Eclipse. –  Mira Jul 2 '13 at 6:44
