You are using bash. In the bash shell language, the ; character separates commands. But you appear to be using it as if it was a classpath separator.

On Linux and MacOS and other UNIX-like systems, the classpath separator is : not ;.

The correct command is:

java -cp /home/dev2/eclipse-workspace/seffcon/bin:/home/dev2/eclipse-workspace/seffcon/libs/* org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

Note:

  1. colon not semicolon,
  2. a space after -cp, and
  3. a classpath wildcard (to match one or more JAR files) is only recognized after a file separator.
